Expression profiles of 12 selected SsAP2/ERF genes in response to NaCl stress treatments. The 25 s-RNA gene was used as the internal control and to normalize expression data. Relative transcript abundance was normalized relative to S mock (1-h untreated control group) treatment. Error bars represented the standard deviation of the mean. Different lowercase letters indicated significant differences among mean values (one-way ANOVA with Ducan’s multiple range test; P < 0.05). The results were based on three replicates in three independent experiments
