Analysis of MDA content, electrolyte leakage, ROS levels, and CAT activity in the shoots of the OsERF106MZ-overexpressing transformants, Oserf106mz mutant, and the corresponding WT cultivars under normal and NaCl-treated conditions. a MDA content. b Electrolyte leakage. c DAB staining. d NBT staining. e CAT activity. The values are the mean ± SE of five biological replicates, each with two technical replicates. Asterisks indicate significant differences (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01) in comparison to the corresponding WT based on Student’s t-test. For these assays, seedlings were grown on basal medium for 7 days and then transferred to basal medium containing 0 or 150 mM NaCl for an additional day
