Figure 7: ATSIG5-overexpressing transgenic plants were more tolerant while its knockout mutants were more sensitive to salt stress.

(A) Salt tolerance assay of ATSIG5-overexpressing and knockout plants. Seeds were sowed on MS medium containing 0, 100, 120, 150 mM NaCl and grown vertically for 10 days. Bar = 1 cm; (B,C) Root length of the 10-day-old plants grown on MS medium containing indicated concentrations of NaCl. Values are mean ± SD (n = 45, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001).
