Comparison of MDA (a), proline (b) and chlorophyll (c) contents in transgenic and wild-type plants under normal and salinity stress conditions. Four-week-old seedlings of transgenic T2 lines and wild-type were irrigated with NaCl (200 mM) or tap watered (control) and samples were collected after three days. The samples shown are representative of six replicates. Values in (a–c) represent the means ± SE of three biological replicate samples. Each replicate sample was composite of leaves from twelve seedlings. C39, C65 and C75 represent three independent ShCML44 transgenic tomato lines. WT represents the wild-type AC. Asterisks indicate significant differences between transgenic lines and wild-type. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test.
