Overexpression of CsCBFs improved cold tolerance of transgenic cucumber seedlings. A The phenotypic analysis of WT (35S empty vector) and 35S:CsCBFs overexpressing cucumber seedlings treated under 0°C for different time periods. B Survival rates of WT and 35S:CsCBFs transgenic plants after 48 h cold treatment. The 35S:CsCBFs transgenic cucumber seedlings all showed higher proline contents (C) and lower MDA contents (D) than WT under 0°C for different time periods. E, F The expression changes of CsCOR15A and CsKIN1 genes in 35S:CsCBFs transgenic plants and WT under 0°C cold treatment, respectively. Three biological replicates were performed for gene expression analyses. The bars showed the SE. Different lowercase letters represented significant differences (P < 0.05)
