Figure 5

The relative expression of manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), mitochondrial gene, at earlier (1 h) (A) and later (3 h) (B) time points in salt stressed non-transformed BY-2 cells without (black curve) and with (broken curve) plant PeptoQ pretreatment. (C) The expression of all the other salt-stress related genes in salt stressed BY-2 cells both with (+) and without (−) plant PeptoQ pretreatment. Data represent mean values and standard errors of three independent experimental series. **Indicate differences significant at P ≤ 0.01 based on a Student’s t test.
