Fig. 6From: 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 ions transporter genes (LBSOS1, LBPMA, LBHKT1 and LBNHX1) expression in L. bicolor leaves in 6-wk-old seedlings at different time points after NaCl (300 mM) and melatonin (5 μM) treatment. (a) Transcript level of LBSOS1 (salt overly sensitive 1), (b) Transcript level of LBPMA (H+-ATPase genes), (c) Transcript level of LBHKT1 (high-affinity K+ transporter 1), (d) Transcript level of LBNHX1 (tonoplast Na+/H+ antiporter). The values are the average of three 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
