Effects of DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (Aza) on the growth of oszip1 mutants and wild-type rice plants exposed to Cd. Seven day-old young rice plants were treated with Cd (80 μM) and/or Aza (20 μM) for 4 d. Thereafter, the phenotype of rice seedlings were photographed (Scale bar = 2 cm). a Phenotype of rice plants. b Shoot length of rice plants. c Root length. Vertical bars represent standard deviation of the mean of three biological replicates. Asterisks indicate that the mean values are significantly different between the treatments (p < 0.05)
