Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Under low-temperature stress, HbCSD2 transgenic Arabidopsis had higher seed germination rate, fresh weight and survival rate than wild type.
- Intervention effect Under low-temperature stress, HbCSD2 transgenic Arabidopsis had considerably lower malformed seedling rate than wild type.
- Intervention effect Transgenic Arabidopsis showed marked increases in SOD, CAT and POD activity relative to WT plants.
- Intervention effect Transgenic Arabidopsis showed a marked increase in soluble sugar content relative to WT plants.
- Mechanism HbCSD2 enhances cold tolerance by boosting antioxidant enzyme activity and ROS scavenging, while reducing membrane lipid peroxidation.
- Observation HbCSD2 is localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus.
- Observation HbCSD2, a Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene, was successfully cloned from the rubber tree.
