From: SiLEA14, a novel atypical LEA protein, confers abiotic stress resistance in foxtail millet

Figure 7

Salt tolerance of SiLEA14 overexpressing foxtail millet seedling. (A) The phenotype of transgenic and WT foxtail millet under normal and salt stress condition. Two-week-old seedlings in soil were irrigated with water, 150 and 250 mM NaCl solution every 3 days. After 6 days, the phenotypes of the transgenic lines and WT were investigated. This experiment had three replicates; and six to eight plants grown in one plot were used in each experiment. Bar = 10 cm. (B) Relative electrolyte leakage in WT and transgenic lines after salt stress. (C) Proline content in WT and transgenic foxtail millet after salt stress. (D) Soluble sugar content in WT and transgenic foxtail millet after salt stress. Data in B-D represent means and standard errors for three biological replicates. Statistical significance was determined by Student’s t-test. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
