To determine the alleviative effects of exogenous sucrose on chilling stress, cucumber seedlings were pretreated with sucrose for 1 day and exposed to 15/8 degrees C for 3 days. Among the sucrose concentrations, pretreatment with 50 mM sucrose led to the highest levels of plant growth and caused the lowest levels of superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and malonaldehyde under chilling stress. The combined effects of 50 mM sucrose pretreatment and chilling stress increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1), guaiacol peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7), glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.9), ascorbate peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.11), glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2), dehydroascorbate reductase (EC 1.8.5.1) and monodehydroascorbate reductase (EC 1.6.5.4) in leaves. This coincided with the increased transcript levels of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase genes and correlated with the elevated contents of reduced glutathione and ascorbate. The combination of the sucrose pretreatment and chilling increased the contents of proline, soluble sugars, fructose, glucose and endogenous sucrose and enhanced the activities of soluble acid invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) and neutral invertase (EC 3.2.1.27) as well. We propose pretreatment with 50 mM sucrose leads to higher contents of endogenous sucrose, thereby activating antioxidant enzymes and enhancing chilling tolerance in cucumber; the induction of praline, soluble sugars, soluble acid invertase and neutral invertase are also related to chilling stress mitigation by the sucrose pretreatment. Exogenous sucrose may have application possibility in nutrient solutions for a future trial of chilling reduction. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
