Integrative analysis of different low-light-tolerant cucumber lines in response to low-light stress by Dandan Li, Fushun Yu, Yanzhao Zhang, Kaihong Hu, Dongyang Dai, Siwen Song, Fan Zhang, Rina Sa, Hua Lian, Yunyan Sheng

“…The expression levels of genes involved in Chl synthesis and carbohydrate biosynthesis in the leaves of M14 decreased markedly after low-light treatment; in contrast, there were no sharp decreases or changes in leaves of M67.DiscussionOver all, the ability of cucumber to respond to low-light stress, as determined on the basis of the degree of damage in leaf structure and chloroplast ultrastructure, which corresponded to decreased gene expression levels and ATP phosphorylase activity, significantly differed between different low-light-tolerant lines, which was manifested as significant differences in photosynthetic capacity between them. …”
