Effect of VaAQUILO (VaAQ) overexpression (OE) on antioxidant enzyme activities and the expression of ROS-scavenging-related genes. Superoxide dismutase (SOD; A), peroxidase (POD; B), and catalase (CAT; C) activities in OE lines and WT plants under non-stress and cold stress conditions. Gene expression levels of AtFSD2 (At5g51100; D), AtCSD2 (At2g28190; E), AtCAT2 (At4g35090; F), AtAPX1 (At1g07890; G), AtSAPX (At4g08390; H), and AtGPX7 (At4g31870; I) were monitored under the same conditions. Transcript levels were analysed by qRT-PCR using ACTIN2 (ACT2, AT3G18780) and UBIQUITIN10 (UBQ10, At4g05320) as calibration controls. Gene expression was normalized to the expression obtained in the WT under non-stressed conditions. Each reaction was performed in triplicate (technical replicates). Data are mean values ±SE of three biological replicates (n=3). Different letters indicate significant differences compared with the WT under non-stress conditions (P<0.05, as determined by one-way ANOVA with a post-hoc LSD test).
