Differential response of WT and transgenic rice lines under MV treatment.
A. Four-day-old seedlings treated with 10 μM MV (MV) and 10 μM MV plus 10 mg/L GSH (MV+GSH) for 3 d, water as mock. A1 and A2 are Ubi::OsSPX1-antisense transgenic lines (on the left), S1 and S2 are Ubi::OsSPX1-sense lines (on the right).
B. The chlorophyll content of seedlings under MV treatment (blue bars for Ubi::OsSPX1-antisense and red bars for Ubi::OsSPX1-sense).
C. DAB staining of the seedling leaves treated with 10 μM MV, water as mock. A1 and A2 are Ubi::OsSPX1-antisense transgenic lines (on the left), S1 and S2 are Ubi::OsSPX1-sense lines (on the right).
D. The survival rate of WT and transgenic plants treated with 10 μM MV, with/without GSH.
E. H2O2 content of the leaves of WT and transgenic plants under MV treatment (blue bars for Ubi::OsSPX1-antisense and red bars for Ubi::OsSPX1-sense).
F. Peroxidase activity in WT and transgenic rice plants under MV treatment (blue bars for Ubi::OsSPX1-antisense and red bars for Ubi::OsSPX1-sense).
** represent significant differences (p < 0.01) between transgenic and WT rice plants according to Student’s t-test.
