Synergistic Exposure of Rice Seeds to Different Doses of -Ray and Salinity Stress Resulted in Increased Antioxidant Enzyme Activities and Gene-Specific Modulation of TC-NER Pathway
Figure 7
Expression profiles of OsXPB2, OsXPD, OsTFIIS, and OsTFIIS-like genes in response to LDR and HDR -ray exposure in rice seeds were estimated by QRTPCR; 5-day-old seedlings germinated in the absence/presence of NaCl (a, c); 20-day-old plants grown in the absence/presence of NaCl (b, d). Quantification of each gene, expressed as relative mRNA level compared with a control, was calculated after normalization to α-Tubulin gene. For each treatment, data (SD) were derived from three independent replications. Significant differences between control and treatments are represented by asterisk (; ; ). NT: nontreated control.
