Fig. 4From: Overexpression of MfPIP2-7 from Medicago falcata promotes cold tolerance and growth under NO3 − deficiency in transgenic tobacco plantsAnalysis of plant growth as affected by NO3 − deficiency in transgenic tobacco plants in comparison to the wild type. Plants were growing at 25 °C on ½ MS medium that contained 10 mM NO3 − as control or ½ MS medium containing 0.2 mM or without NO3 −. After photograph was taken (a), the fresh weight of whole plant was weighed (b). Relative growth (c) was calculated based on the fresh weight of the control plants as 100 %. The same letter above the columns indicates no significant difference by Duncan’s test at P < 0.05Back to article page
