Analysis of Camelina wild-type and CsGGCT2;1 OE lines on
AsIII containing media
Camelina wild-type and CsGGCT2;1 OE lines were grown on ½ x MS
media (control) and ½ x MS media supplemented with 20 µM sodium arsenite
for 21 days and then harvested (Figure 3a). There were no significant
differences in the root and shoot biomass of wild-type and OE lines
under the non-stress ½x MS control conditions (Figure 3). However, under
AsIII treatment, CsGGCT2;1 OE lines showed strong tolerance and
attained significantly higher root and shoot biomass than WT plants. TheCsGGCT2;1 OE lines had approximately 2.6-3-fold higher shoot
biomass and approximately 7-fold higher root biomass than WT plants
(Figure 3 b&c).
