Phenotypes of wild-type and <i>OsSIZ1-</i>transgenic plants under normal growth condition and after salt stress treatment.

<p><b>A.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants on MS media. Plants were grown vertically for 8 days before the picture was taken. <b>B.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants on salt-containing MS media. Three days old seedlings on MS media were transferred to MS media containing 125 mM NaCl and were allowed to grow vertically for 5 days before the picture was taken. <b>C.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants on salt-containing MS media. Three days old seedlings on MS media were transferred to MS media containing 150 mM NaCl and were allowed to grow vertically for 5 days before the picture was taken. <b>D.</b> Analysis of root length of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants on MS media or after salt treatment for 5 days. Black column, MS media; grey column, MS media supplemented with 125 mM NaCl. <b>E.</b> Analysis of fresh weight of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants on MS media or after salt treatment for 7 days. Ten seedlings of each genotype were used in the analysis. Black column, MS media; grey column, MS media supplemented with 150 mM NaCl. <b>F.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1-</i>transgenic plants grown under normal growth condition for 42 days. <b>G.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants 21 days after salt stress was started. <b>H.</b> Seed yields of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants grown under normal growth condition or after salt stress treatment. Black column, normal condition (irrigation with regular water); grey column, salt stress condition (irrigation with incremental salt concentrations in water). ** statistically significant at 1%; WT, wild-type; SIZ1-3 and SIZ1-5, two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants.
