From: Mapping of a major QTL for salt tolerance of mature field-grown maize plants based on SNP markers
The relative expression level of potential candidate genes in maize seedlings of two inbred lines. Total RNA samples were collected at 0 h, 1 h and 2 h after salt treatment from shoot and root tissues, respectively. qRT-PCR was performed using maize Actin as the internal reference. Bar charts represent the mean ± SE of three biological replicates, each containing tissues from five individual seedlings. Asterisks show statistically significant difference in two lines by ANOVA. *, ** and *** indicate P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively. Expression of GRMZM2G098494 in shoot (a), GRMZM2G007555 in shoot (b), GRMZM2G098494 in root (c) and GRMZM2G007555 in root (d)
