Fig. 5From: A novel sucrose transporter gene IbSUT4 involves in plant growth and response to abiotic stress through the ABF-dependent ABA signaling pathway in SweetpotatoSeed germination and seedling growth in the WT and the three IbSUT4 transgenic lines (SUT4–1, SUT4–7, and SUT4–10) under abiotic stress conditions. a. The germination rates were recorded in 1/2 MS media with or without NaCl, 10 °C, or ABA treatments during a period of 1 to 4 d after stratification. b. The expression of AtABI3 in seeds under the ABA treatment for 4 d. c and d. 14 day-old seedlings grown with or without NaCl, 10 °C, or ABA were analyzed for their root length and MDA content.
