Comparison of root lengths (A,B) and seed germination rates (C) of transgenic OsHSP20 rice plants under salt stress. (A) Root length phenotype of 2-week-old untransformed wild-type (WT) and OsHSP20 overexpression lines (Ubi:OsHSP20-L5, -L16 and -L20). WT and transgenic plants were germinated on 1/2 MS medium plates for 3 days before transfer to a new MS medium plate supplemented with 100 mM NaCl for 2 weeks. Scale bar is 1 cm. (B) Quantitative analysis of primary root lengths of 2-week-old seedlings from WT and each transgenic line. The average (±SD) values are from three biological replicates with 50 plants for each line and replicate. Significant differences between WT and transgenic plants are indicated by asterisks (ns, not significant; **P < 0.01). (C) Germination rates were measured at 6 d after incubating seeds at 25 °C with or without salt stress. Data represent the mean ± SD (P < 0.05) from three independent experiments.
