Effects of AOX inhibitor and H₂S scavenger on salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis seedlings. For this experiment, seeds were sown on 1/2 MS medium with 100 mM NaCl with or without 2 mM nPG (AOX inhibitor) or 1 mM HT (H₂S scavenger). A The salt stress adaptation of WT and C1-OE seeds after ten days of treatment is shown. B The germination speed (T₅₀), chlorophyll content, H₂O₂ content, and ion leakage were compared between WT and C1-OE seeds. Data are the mean ± SD of five independent experiments. Different lowercase letters above the bars represent significant differences according to post hoc analysis (Tukey’s HSD, P < 0.05)
