Knocking out FLN2 increases the sensitivity of rice to salinity stress. The appearance of six-week-old plants of WT and two FLN2 knockout lines (KO-1 and -2) exposed for 4 days to (A) 0 mM NaCl or (B) 150 mM NaCl. Bar: 10 cm. (C–E) Quantification of the response in terms of (C) leaf Rubisco activity, (D) leaf sucrose content, and (E) the rate of sucrose export from the phloem. Data are given in the form mean ± SE (n = 5). *, **: The performance of the KO line plants differed significantly (p < 0.05, p <0.01) from that of WT. FW: fresh weight.
