Comparison of enzymatic activity in transgenic and wild-type plants under normal and drought stress conditions.
Comparison of MDA content (a), proline content (b), chlorophyll content (c), SOD activity (d) and CAT activity (e) in the leaves of transgenic lines and wild-type plants under normal and drought stress conditions. Six-week-old seedlings of transgenic T2 lines and wild-type were withheld water for 10 successive days (drought stress) or watered every two days (control). The samples shown are representative of six replicates. Values in (a–e) 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.
