A Novel α/β-Hydrolase Gene IbMas Enhances Salt Tolerance in Transgenic Sweetpotato
Figure 5
Responses of the IbMas-overexpressing sweetpotato plants under 86 mM NaCl stress.
(A) The growth and rooting of trangenic plants and wild-type plant (WT) cultured for 4 weeks on MS medium supplemented with 86 mM NaCl. (B) and (C) Phenotypes of salt-tolerant transgenic plants (L52, L99, L102 and L101) and WT incubated for 4 weeks in Hoagland solution with 86 mM NaCl; all of the cuttings of L52, L99, L102 and L101 formed obvious new leaves and roots and those of WT died.
