Fig. 3From: Salt adaptability in a halophytic soybean (Glycine soja) involves photosystems coordinationImmunoblot analysis of reaction center proteins of PSI (PsaA, a) and PSII (PsbA, b) in the leaves of Glycine max (GM) and Glycine soja (GS) after 9 days of salt stress with 300 mM NaCl. Total performance index (PItotal, c), PSII performance index (PIabs, d), the maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm, e) and PSI (△MR/MR0, f), primary quinone reducing reaction centers per PSII antenna chlorophyll (RC/ABS, g), variable fluorescence intensity at K step (Vk, h), probability that an electron moves beyond primary quinone (ETo/TRo, i) and probability with which an electron from the intersystem electron carriers is transferred to reduce end electron acceptors at the PSI acceptor side (REo/ETo, j) in the leaves of Glycine max (circles) and Glycine soja (triangles) exposed to 0 (closed symbols) and 300 mM (open symbols) NaCl. Data in the figure indicate the mean of five replicates (±SD). Different letters indicate significant difference among GS, GM, GS + NaCl and GM + NaCl at P < 0.05.
