  1. Ten-day-old WT and GmPIP1;6-Oe transgenic soybean plants were treated with or without 100 mM NaCl for 7 days. Length and fresh weight of shoot and root of WT and transgenic plants were measured. Data are given as means ± SD (n = 6). Different letters indicate significant differences (LSD test, P <0.05).
