Figure 6

The difference of salt-tolerance parameters between gene-silenced and control plants in response to salt stress. Seven salt-tolerance parameters, including the plant height (cm), shoot dry matter weight (g), root dry matter weight (g), and SOD and POD (U/g FW) activity, and Pro (μg/g FW) and H2O2 (nmol/g FW) content were measured in leaves of gene-silenced and control plants with salt stress and water treatment. Plants were treated with 200 mM NaCl for a month (with water treatment as control). Significance level was compared between the difference between salt stress treatment and water control of target gene-silenced plants (TRV: target-silenced gene NaCl, and TRV: target-silenced gene H2O), and the difference between salt stress treatment and water control of no-infiltration plants (CK NaCl and CK H2O). “*”: at P < 0.05; “**”: at P < 0.01.
