Sugar ameliorates the salt stress. A) Col-0, seeds were germinated and seedlings grown on 1/4 MS agar media supplemented with or without 100 mM NaCl and with or without 1% sucrose. Seedlings shown are 3 weeks old. B) Col-0, rgs1-2 and agb1-2 seed were germinated and seedlings grown on 1/4 MS agar media supplemented with 100 mM NaCl plus (+) or minus (−) 0.5% glucose. Green seedlings were scored 10 d after germination. Error bar represents the STDev from 3 replicates. Each genotype treated with glucose was compared to its no glucose control. *means statistically different with a P value = 0.01.
