Fig. 6From: A tubby-like protein CsTLP8 acts in the ABA signaling pathway and negatively regulates osmotic stresses tolerance during seed germinationOverexpression of CsTLP8 increased the sensitivity to ABA and decreased the tolerance to osmotic and salt stresses during seed germination in Arabidopsis. (a) Seeds of Col-0, OE7 and OE11 were surface sterilized, stratified for 3 d, and germinated on 1/2 MS media supplemented without or with ABA, mannitol or NaCl. Bar = 1 cm. (b) Quantification of corresponding germination rates. (c) Seeds of Col-0, OE7 and OE11 were sown for 4 days on half-strength MS medium and then transferred to half-strength MS medium with different concentrations of ABA, NaCl, or mannitol for 7 days. Bar = 1 cm. (d) Quantification of corresponding seedling root length. Values are means ± SD (n = 3), *P < 0.05 or **P < 0.01, Duncan’s test for multiple testsBack to article page
