Figure 6From: Constitutive overexpression of soybean plasma membrane intrinsic protein GmPIP1;6 confers salt toleranceRoot hydraulic conductance ( L o ) of WT and GmPIP1;6 overexpression plants after salt irrigation. Five-week-old WT and GmPIP1;6-Oe transgenic soybean plants were grown in pot treated with normal irrigation and 50 mM NaCl in a controlled greenhouse. Measurements were made between 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM. Lo normalized to root dry weight. All data are means of four biological replicates with error bars indicating SD. Asterisks indicate a significant difference between the WT and the two transgenic lines (*P < 0.05).Back to article page
