The overexpression of ThST103 enhances the salt tolerance of 2 weeks old cotton seedling grown in the hydroponic medium and in soil under saline environment. A, B The seeds germinated for 4 days in soil, relocated to hydroponic culture for a week and exposed to 140 mmol·L−1 NaCl for 3 further days. Bar = 4 cm. Values are mean ± SD (7 plants per replicate, four replicates per treatment). Different letters denote significant differences (P < 0.05) from Duncan's multiple range tests. C Plants grown in soil for 20 days and treated with 0 NaCl or 300 mmol·L−1 NaCl for another 10 days. Bar = 4 cm. D Survival rate of seeds germinated in the soil for 20 days and then treated with 0 and 300 mmol·L−1 NaCl for another 10 days. Values are mean ± SD (10 plants per replicate, five replicates per treatment). Different letters denote significant differences (P < 0.05) from Duncan's multiple range tests
