Effects of salinity on the two foxtail millet varieties. (A) The phenotypes of foxtail millet seeds germinated under salt stress for 7 days. (B–D) The germination rate, seedling and root length of Yugu2 and An04 after germinated for 7 days under salinity. (E, F) The Na⁺ and K⁺ contents in the roots of Yugu2 and An04 under salinity. Error bars indicate ± SE of at least three biological repeats. Student’s t-test was carried out to analyze significant differences between Yugu2 and An04, **indicates the p value < 0.01 and *indicates the p value < 0.05, respectively. The SigmaPlot Version 11.0 was used to draw histograms in (B–F).
