Salinity treatment to seedlings. Twenty one-day-old J. curcas seedlings were treated with 0, 150 mM, 250 mM and 750 mM NaCl for 0 h, 2 h, 4 h and 8 h. Total RNA was extracted from root and leaf tissues of 150 mM NaCl treated seedlings at 0 h, 2 h and 8 h and semi- quantitative RT-PCR expression of selected J. curcas genes was performed.
