Claim · model-written summary
Transgenic cucumber had significantly higher antioxidant enzyme activities under chilling.
Verbatim
e0“A significant decrease in membrane injury index (MII), increase in activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT), free proline content and relative water content (RWC) in the leaves were observed in transgenic cucumber as compared to wild-type under chilling stress”

- Method / resource Agrobacterium transformation produced marker-free transgenic cucumber with efficiency 1.62.
- Observation The transgene was integrated as a single copy and T1 cucumber was marker free.
- Observation Transgene expression was confirmed in T1 cucumber.
- Intervention effect T2 transgenic cucumber survived chilling for up to 36 h whereas wild-type plants died.
- Intervention effect Transgenic cucumber had a significantly lower membrane injury index than wild type under chilling.
- Intervention effect Transgenic cucumber had significantly higher free proline content under chilling.
- Intervention effect Transgenic cucumber had significantly higher leaf relative water content under chilling.
