GmMYB118 improves salt stress tolerance in transgenic soybean hairy roots. The seedlings with 2–5 cm hairy roots were grown for 5 days on pot under normal condition, then, the plants were 250 mM NaCl treated for a week. Image of salinity resistance phenotypes of OE, CK and CRISPR plants under salt conditions was shown (a). The leaves contents of Chlorophyll (b), Proline (c) and MDA (d) were detected in OE, CK and CRISPR plants with 250 mM NaCl treatment or normal growth condition for 3 days. Trypan blue staining of soybean plant leaves without irrigation for a week (e), the dead cells can be strained, but living cells cannot. DAB (f) and NBT (g) staining of the leaves of OE, CK and CRISPR plants after 250 mM NaCl treatment or normal condition for 3 days. The depth of color shows the concentration of H2O2 and O2− in the leaves (f-g). The content of H2O2 (h) and O2− (i) in the leaves of OE, CK and CRISPR plants after 250 mM NaCl treatment or normal condition for 3 days. The data were means ± SDs of three experiments. ANOVA test demonstrated that there were significant differences (∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01)
