AtPPRT1 negatively affects salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis seedlings. (a) Col-0, atpprt1, OE2, and OE10 grown vertically on 1/2 MS for 3 days were transferred to 1/2 MS without NaCl or supplemented with 120 mM NaCl or 300 mM mannitol for another 7 days; (b) measurement of root lengths under 120 mM NaCl treatment or 300 mM mannitol treatment; measurement of (c) chlorophyll content, (d) fresh weight and (e)) first leaf pair span under 120 mM NaCl in Col-0, atpprt1, OE2, and OE10. The values are the average of three individual biological replications. Error bars represent ± SD (n = 21, *p < .05 and **p < .01, t-test).
