Shoot growth and leaf chlorophyll content of 35S:CKX2 transgenic B. napus lines grown under Mg2+ and SO42− limitation. a Shoot biomass (fresh weight) of transgenic plants grown on a perlite substrate supplemented with Hoagland nutrient solution containing different concentrations of Mg2+ and SO42−. b, c Leaf chlorophyll concentration of plants grown under Mg2+ (b) or SO42− (c) limitation. SPAD readings were taken on plants that were exposed to the indicated nutrients regimes for 3 weeks and shoot fresh weight was determined after 5 weeks. Data in (a), (b) and (c) represent mean values ± SD (n = 18). Student’s t-test was used to compare the significance of differences between transgenic lines and the wild type. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001
