Fig. 6From: Characterization and gene expression analysis reveal universal stress proteins respond to abiotic stress in Gossypium hirsutumExpression analysis of GhUSPs in leaves under salt treatment via RT–qPCR. The samples were collected at 0 h, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 9 h, 12 and 24 h after salt treatment on TM-1 cotton seedlings. GhActin7 was used as an internal reference. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three independent biological replicates. Statistically significant difference was evaluated by one-way ANOVA analysis (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001). The primers used are listed in Table S3Back to article page
