Figure 3

(A) Phenotypes of transgenic wheat lines grown under normal conditions for two weeks. (B) Phenotypes of transgenic wheat lines grown under high-salt (200 mM NaCl) stress. (C) and (D) Fresh weights of the transgenic wheat lines and control wheat lines. Measurements were made after 7-day-old plants were treated with NaCl for one week. (E) and (F) Relative Na+ content. Measurements were made after 7-day-old plants were treated with NaCl for 6 h. Vertical bars bearing different letters in (C,D,E), and (F) indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 and error bars represent standard errors.
