Figure 1

(a) 5-d-old seedlings of ZD958 and ZJY1 were transferred to half-strength Hoagland solutions containing the indicated concentrations of PEG-6000 (PEG) for another 5 d. Photographs were then taken. Bar = 10 cm. Meanwhile, fresh weight (b) and relative water content (RWC; c) were measured in both root and shoot tissues. Data are presented as means ± SE (5 root or shoot parts per experiment performed three times). Bars with different letters denote significant differences according to multiple comparisons (P < 0.05).
