Analysis of cadmium (Cd) tolerance in the wild-type (WT), AtFC1 transgenic lines (35S::FC1) and fc1 mutants of Arabidopsis. a, b: Phenotype and fresh weigh of seedlings grown on 1/2 MS medium with or without 50, 100 or 150 μM Cd for 12 d. c, d: Root length of AtFC1 transgenic seedlings and fc1 mutants grown on 1/2 MS medium with or without 50 μM Cd for 12 d. E and F: The chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-b contents of AtFC1 transgenic seedlings and fc1 mutants. Seedlings were grown hydroponically for 21 d and transferred to the same culture solution with and without 50 μM Cd for 5 d. Vertical bars represent standard deviation. Asterisks indicate that the mean values are significantly different between the transgenic plants/mutants and wild-type plants (p < 0.05)
