Overexpression of miR172c increases salt tolerance of soybean roots. a and b Phenotype analysis of the composite plants and individual hairy root overexpressing 35S::miR172c and the empty vector. Seven day-old composite plants grown in B5 medium were transplanted to vermiculite and treated without (a) and with 75 mM NaCl (b). Bars = 1 cm. c and d Increases in root system lengths (c) and lateral numbers after transplanting the composite plants expressing the empty vector and 35S:miR172c to soil

Letters indicate significant differences from the empty vector controls according to the Student’s Newman-Kuels test (P < 0.05).
