overexpression in Sesamum indicum. Under severe drought conditions, transgenic plants show less reduction in height compared to azygous non-transgenic plants. Increase in total extractable soluble proteins, elevation in proline accumulation, and a reduction in MDA levels are recorded in transgenic lines. Under non-stressed conditions, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activity levels increase by 25%, 23%, 210% and 75%, respectively, compared to azygous non-transgenic plants |
