Overexpression of LcERF056 confers enhanced salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis. (A) Growth of WT and transgenic plants under 300 mM NaCl stress after 21 days. Ten-day-old seedlings grown on MS medium plates were planted in pots filled with a 1:1 mixture of vermiculite and humus and well-watered for 20 days. The seedlings were watered with a solution containing 300 mM NaCl for 21 days. The experiment was repeated three times. (B) Relative moisture contents. (C) Relative electrolyte leakage. The data represent the means of three replicates. The error bars indicate the SD. **P < 0.01 compared with the WT plants, using Student’s t test
