Comparison of photosynthesis-related genes in XJ and ZM under low-salt and salt-stress conditions. XJ and ZM were treated with salt solution (TXJ and TZM, respectively) or water (control group; CZM and CXJ, respectively), and subsequently samples were collected on the seventh day. Heatmap indicates the relative transcript levels of the genes from four genes families, Lhcs, Pets, Psas and Psbs, which are important for photosynthesis.
