Overexpression of CmTST1 in Arabidopsis seedlings (OE) improved the root growth under (3% w/v) Glc and (1% w/v) Fru conditions. (A,E) The phenotype of 3-day-old seedlings. (B,F) Germination percentage of OE and WT Arabidopsis seeds. (C,G) Seedlings of OE and WT after growing on 3% Glc (C) or 1% Fru (G) 6S for 9 days. (D,H) Average root length of seedlings after growing on 6S 3% Glc (D) or 1% Fru (H) for 9 days. WT, wild type. Bar = 5 mm. Results represent at least three biological replications. Lowercased letters above the bar indicate that significant differences between the OE seedlings and the WT were assessed by one-sided paired t-tests (p < 0.05).
