Figure 4From: The SNF1-type serine-threonine protein kinase SAPK4regulates stress-responsive gene expression in riceIncreased germination efficiency and seedling development in SAPK4 -over-expressing rice. (A) Germination rate of wild-type rice and the SAPK4 over-expressing rice lines S1 and S4 under control conditions and after treatment with 50 mM NaCl for 7 days. Values are means ± S.D. (n = 30). * The germination rates of wild type rice under control and under salt stress conditions are significantly different (p < 0.05). (B) Phenotype of seedlings grown under control conditions and after treatment with 50 mM NaCl for 7 days.Back to article page
