Overexpression of a Vesicle Trafficking Gene, OsRab7, Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice
Figure 2
Salt stress tolerance in wild-type and transgenic plants. (a) Morphology of wild-type and transgenic seedlings after 12 days under 200 mM salt stress. (b) Growth rate compared between the transgenic rice and WT plants under salt stress. (c) Root morphology under salt stress. (d) Analysis of the number of lateral roots at 4, 7, and 10 days. The data represents the mean ± SD derived from three separate experiments. The bars represent the average data collected from 10 plants of each of the WT, Trans3, and Trans5 lines. (e) Morphology of wild-type and transgenic seedlings transplanted from salt liquid medium to soil. The wild-type and transgenic seedlings subjected to salt stress for 12 days were transplanted to soil, and the transgenic seedling growth was rescued after 8 days.
