Phenotypic evaluation of epigenetic rice mutants under salt stress.

<p>The assays “1” and “2” (A and B, respectively) refer to the application of salt stress at distinct developmental stages for different time periods. The length and biomass values correspond to a % of change in salt relative to control. For details, see description in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0124060#sec002" target="_blank">material and methods</a>. (C) Shoot and root length of WT, <i>osdrm2</i> and <i>oshac704</i> in salt stress relative to control conditions. (D) Percentage of water content in shoots and roots of WT, <i>osdrm2</i> and <i>oshac704</i> in salt stress relative to control conditions. (E) Biomass of shoots and roots of WT, <i>osdrm2</i> and <i>oshac704</i> in salt stress relative to control conditions.
