ShCML44 overexpression plants response towards salinity tolerance in tomato.
(a) Seeding growth of transgenic lines and wild-type plants under control (0 mM NaCl) and salinity (200 mM NaCl for 7 days) stress. (b) Seed germination of transgenic lines and wild-type plants under salinity stress. Seed of transgenic T2 lines and wild-type were grown under salinity (200 mM NaCl for 7 days) stress. Comparison of hypocotyl (c) and epicotyl (d) of transgenic and wild-type plants under normal and salinity stress conditions. Data are means ± SE obtained from 20 seedlings. Asterisks indicate significant differences between transgenic lines and wild-type. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test.
