Fig. 3: Responses of WT plants and TG lines under salt stress test.

a WT and TG plants were subjected to 250 mM NaCl treatment for 8 days followed by a 10-day recovery. b Leaf RWC, c leaf electrolyte leak, d total chlorophyll content, and e proline content were measured in WT and TG leaves at 0 day and 8 days of salt stress treatment. DW dry weight. Data are shown as means (n = 4) with standard error. Asterisks (***) indicate a significant difference between WT and each TG line at P < 0.001 by Student’s t-test
