Fig. 1From: Expression analysis of miRNAs and their putative target genes confirm a preponderant role of transcription factors in the early response of oil palm plants to salinity stressBox plots of the changes in gas exchange parameters in oil palm plants grown under increasing concentrations of NaCl in the cultivation substrate. A Net CO2 assimilation rate (A); (B) stomatal conductance rate to water vapor (gs); (C) intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci); and (D) transpiration rate (E). Medians and interquartile ranges are shown. The values represent the average of four replicates. The significance of differences was calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis test with post-hoc Dunn (p < 0.05). nsP > 0.05, non-significant comparisons were not shown in the graph; *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; ***P ≤ 0.001Back to article page
