Cold hardiness evaluation and physiological mechanism elucidation in apricot-plum hybrid (Prunus salicina × P. armeniaca) germplasm by WANG Aning, QI Anguo, WANG Mengyao, ZHU Gaopu, LI Taishan, LI Fangdong, YANG Shaobin, HU Haifang, BAI Danfeng

“…In Weiwang and XL9, antioxidant enzymes (SOD and POD) and osmolytes (SS and Pro) displayed coordinated regulation, peaking at intermediate temperatures (-20 ℃ to -25 ℃) before declining, suggesting adaptive stress mitigation. Conversely, sensitive genotypes exhibited progressive oxidative damage, evidenced by linearly increasing O2-·, H2O2, and MDA levels (up to 195.4% increase in H2O2 at -30 ℃), coupled with declining SS (44.2% reduction) and Pro contents, which indicated the oxidative damage they suffered increased gradually and the cell osmotic balance was disrupted. …”
