SsMAX2 conferred salt resistance in Arabidopsis. (A) Growth phenotype of 5-day-old SsMAX2 OE lines, max2, and WT seedlings under salt stress; (B,C) The growth and survival rate 7 days after 150 mM NaCl treatment on 15-day-old seedlings; (D) Chlorophyll content of the seedling leaves before or 7 days after salt stress treatment. Data are presented as means ± SD of three biological replicates. Significant differences between WT and the other groups were determined by Student’s t-test. Significance level: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
