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).
