Overexpression of CsTLP8 increased the sensitivity to ABA and decreased the tolerance to osmotic and salt stresses during seed germination in Arabidopsis. (a) Seeds of Col-0, OE7 and OE11 were surface sterilized, stratified for 3 d, and germinated on 1/2 MS media supplemented without or with ABA, mannitol or NaCl. Bar = 1 cm. (b) Quantification of corresponding germination rates. (c) Seeds of Col-0, OE7 and OE11 were sown for 4 days on half-strength MS medium and then transferred to half-strength MS medium with different concentrations of ABA, NaCl, or mannitol for 7 days. Bar = 1 cm. (d) Quantification of corresponding seedling root length. Values are means ± SD (n = 3), *P < 0.05 or **P < 0.01, Duncan’s test for multiple tests
