Growth of cell lines under different concentrations of NaCl and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance changes (TBARS). (A-C) Effect of different concentrations of NaCl (50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mM) on the growth of transgenic cell lines of rice (Os1, Os2, Os3, Os4, Os5, and Os6), cotton (Gh1, Gh2, Gh3, Gh4, Gh5, and Gh6), and slash pine (Pe1, Pe2, Pe3, Pe4, Pe5, and Pe6) were measured 21 days after callus transgenic cell cultures were transferred into media containing NaCl. (D-F) TBARS changes in transgenic cell lines of rice (Os1, Os2, Os3, Os4, Os5, and Os6), cotton (Gh1, Gh2, Gh3, Gh4, Gh5, and Gh6), and slash pine (Pe1, Pe2, Pe3, Pe4, Pe5, and Pe6). The growth and TBARS were measured 21 days after cell cultures were transferred into media containing different concentrations of NaCl (50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mM). Each experiment was replicated three times, and each replicate consisted of five to ten 250-ml flasks of transgenic cell cultures. Values represent the means ± S.D.
