Fig. 2From: Exogenous melatonin enhances salt secretion from salt glands by upregulating the expression of ion transporter and vesicle transport genes in Limonium bicolorEffects of NaCl and melatonin on the density of salt gland and total number of salt glands of a single leaf. a-d, the density of salt glands of L. bicolor leaves, a, 0 + 0, 0 mM NaCl+ 0 μM MT; b, 0 + 5, 0 mM NaCl+ 5 μM MT; c, 300 + 0, 300 mM NaCl+ 0 μM MT; d, 300 + 5, 300 mM NaCl+ 5 μM MT; e, the density of salt glands of L. bicolor leaves; f, total number of salt glands of a single leaf. Bar = 40 μm. Arrows indicate salt glands. The values are the average of five biological repeats ± standard deviation. According to Duncan’s multi-range tests, bars that there were significant differences at P < 0.05 are labeled with different lettersBack to article page
