Reduction of NNC1 expression increases salt tolerance of soybean. a, b Phenotypes of composite plants and individual hairy root expressing the empty vector and RNAi-NNC1. Seven days-old composite plants were transplanted to soil treated without (a) or with 75 mM NaCl. Bars = 1 cm. c, d Hairy root length and lateral root number of RNAi-NNC1 under salt stress. c) Primary hairy root length of fifteen days old composite plant expressing the empty vector and RNAi-NNC1, d) Later root number of fifteen days old transgenetic hairy root expressing the empty vector and RNAi-NNC1 (n = 10). Letters indicate significant differences from the empty vector controls according to the Student’s Newman-Kuels test (P < 0.05)
