Expression pattern of XTH30 in Arabidopsis. (A) Expression of XTH30 in Arabidopsis seedlings in response to salt stress. Fourteen-day-old seedlings were treated with 150 mM NaCl for different time as indicated. (B) Expression of XTH30 in rosette leaves, stem, roots, cauline leaves, and flowers. (C) XTH30 promoter::GUS expression patterns under salt stress in various developmental stages. XTH30 promoter::GUS expression of two lines (no. 3 and no. 6) in 3-day-old seedling (a), 5-day-old seedling (b), leaves (c), 7-day-old etiolated hypocotyl (d), and roots (e) exposed to salt stress. Seedlings in (a, b) were treated with 150 mM NaCl for 1 h. Seedlings in (c–e) were treated with 150 mM NaCl for 12 h. Error bars represent SD (n=3) in (A, B). ACTIN 2 acts as a reference standard. The asterisk in (A) indicates a significant difference compared with the control using unpaired Student’s t-test (*P<0.05). Experiment in (B) was performed at least three times with similar results.
