Supplementary Fig. S2 Effect of salt and osmotic stress on wild-type and transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Inhibition of root growth in the presence of NaCl (a) and mannitol (b). The root length of NaCl- and mannitol-treated seedlings was expressed as a percentage of control incubated on NaCl- and mannitol-free medium. Data from three transgenic lines along with WT are presented. The experiments were repeated at least three times and data of only representative experiment is shown. Values are mean ± SE for 12-15 seedlings each. Data points marked with asterisk (*P ≤ 0.05 and **P ≤ 0.01) indicate statistically significant difference between WT and transgenic lines

Supplementary Fig. S3 Effect of mannitol on wild-type and transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Inhibition of seed germination in the presence of mannitol. Data from three transgenic lines (GRX-V, GRX-VI and GRX-VII) along with wild-type (WT) are presented. The number of germinated seeds was expressed as the percentage of total number (40-60) of seeds plated. Values are mean ± SE from three independent experiments. The differences in WT and transgenic lines were not found to be significant by Student’s t-test

(c) Number of genes differentially expressed commonly or specifically regulated under different conditions. The numbers outside the Venn diagrams represent total number of genes differentially expressed and the numbers within Venn diagrams represent the number of genes up-regulated, down-regulated (in parentheses) and up-regulated under one and down-regulated under other condition (marked with asterisk)

Supplementary Fig. S11 Real-time PCR validation of expression profile of representative genes selected from microarray results. The transcript levels of selected genes in wild-type (a) and GRX over-expression transgenic Arabidopsis line (b) under different conditions are shown. The transcript levels for each gene under different conditions/treatments were calculated relative to the expression in control condition. Data are mean ± SE from three biological replicates
