Performance of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1-</i>transgenic plants under combined stresses of heat and salt on MS media.

<p><b>A.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants under normal growth condition. Plants were grown on MS media vertically for 12 days at 22 ^oC. <b>B.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants under combined stresses of heat and salt. Plants were grown on salt-containing MS media (100 mM NaCl) at 30 ^oC for 18 days. <b>C.</b> Analysis of root lengths of wild-type and <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants under normal growth condition and combined stresses of heat and salt. Plants were grown on MS media at 22 ^oC for 12 days and then grown on MS media with 100 mM NaCl at 30 ^oC for 18 days. Black columns, root lengths under normal condition; grey columns, root lengths under combined stresses of heat and salt. ** statistically significant at 1%; WT, wild-type; SIZ1-3 and SIZ1-5, two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants.
