Ethylene Response Factor Sl-ERF.B.3 Is Responsive to Abiotic Stresses and Mediates Salt and Cold Stress Response Regulation in Tomato

Figure 4

Salt stress effect on fresh biomass accumulation of Sl-ERF.B.3 antisense transgenic lines (AS25 and AS38) and wild type (WT) tomato plants. Variation of fresh weight means under salt treatment (200 mM NaCl) and in control conditions (0 mM NaCl), in whole plants (a), in shoots (c), and in roots (e). Salt stress effect on relative fresh weight reduction is assessed in whole plants (b), in shoots (d), and in roots (f). Pairwise comparisons were made between wild type and transgenic plants with Student’s -test (a: , b: ). Data represent means and standard error of three replications.
