QA seedling sensitivity to ABA and NaCl. (A) Representative plates of seedlings grown on control, NaCl and ABA media. (B) QA seedling root growth measured as percentage of initial length. (C) Shoot weight (normalized per plant). Seedlings were transferred from germination media after 9 days and were grown on vertical plates for 5 days in the presence of 100 mM NaCl or 20 μM ABA. Values indicate mean ± SD (n = 24). Asterisks represent significance levels using Student t-test; ^∗∗∗P ≤ 0.005. QA, Quadrato D’Asti giallo.
