Effect of overexpression of GmeIFiso4G-1a on Arabidopsis growth under osmotic and salt stress. Five days old seedlings were transferred to high osmotic media: 40% PEG 8000 (A) or 300 mM mannitol (C), and to salt stress with NaCl 150 mM (E). Treatments and controls were performed in the presence (+β) or absence of 5 μM β-estradiol, and pictures were taken after 10 days of exposure to stress. Root weight (in mg of fresh weight) of wild-type (WT) and transgenic Arabidopsis lines (OE-5 and OE-8), was analyzed in after 10 days of PEG-induced osmotic stress (B); Mannitol-induced osmotic stress (D); or salt stress (F). Controls (Ctrl), 40% PEG 8000 (PG); 300 mM Mannitol (Mtl); 150 mM NaCl (Na). Plants were treated with 5 μM with β-estradiol (+β), or untreated. Asterisk (∗) indicates significant differences between the transgenic lines and the wild type at p < 0.05 confidence level.
