Comparison of seed germination rates among Col, Ler and Sha under salt stress treatment.

<p>(A) Plants were grown on MS plate supplied with the indicated concentrations of NaCl (mM). Photos were taken after 5 DAG (<u>D</u>ays-<u>A</u>fter-<u>G</u>ermination). Bar = 1 cm. (B) & (C) Germination rates were compared with various concentrations of NaCl. Germination rates were analyzed by counting the number of emergenced radicles after 3 DAG on the indicated concentrations of NaCl in (B) or by counting the number of green cotyledons after 5 DAG in (C). The values indicated means + SEs of four independent experimental repeats (n = 30). (D) & (E) The kinetics of germination time among Col, Ler and Sha were analyzed with the same concentration of NaCl (100 mM). Germination rates were determined by counting the number of emergenced radicles (D) and green cotyledons (E) at the indicated time points. The values indicated means + SEs of four independent experimental repeats (n = 30).
