Overexpression of CsbHLH041 increased salt and ABA tolerance in cucumber seedlings. Phenotypes of 35S empty vector and 35S:CsbHLH041 cucumber seedlings treated with 100 mM NaCl (a) and 100 μM ABA (b) at different time periods during hydroponic growth. (c) Survival of 35S empty vector and 35S:CsbHLH041 cucumber seedlings after 12 h of salt and ABA treatments. Comparison of the antioxidant enzyme activity between 35S empty vector and 35S:CsbHLH041 cucumber seedlings under salt and ABA treatment: (d) peroxidase (POD) activity, (e) superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, (f) catalase (CAT) activity. The bars showed the SE. * and ** indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively
