Germination rates of CsWRKY7-overexpressing Arabidopsis lines under different stress conditions (A) Expression of CsWRKY7 in the leaves of WT and three transgenic lines (L8, L10, and L14), respectively. Data are shown as the mean ± S.E. (n = 3). (B) The germination rate of WT and transgenic lines. Their seeds grown on the 1/2 MS supplied with different concentrations of NaCl, ABA, mannitol and PEG for 4 days. Experiments were performed in five biological replicates. Fifty seeds of each WT and three transgenic lines were germinated in one replicate. Data are shown as the mean ± S.E. (C) Germination performance of WT and transgenic lines were taken under normal conditions, 150 mM NaCl, 0.3 μM ABA, 200 mM mannitol, and 15% PEG treatment for 7 days. Asterisk indicated that the expression level is significantly different from the value of the control (‘***’ p < 0.001).
