Relative expression analysis of theCsbHLHgenes under different stress conditions and different tissues. Expression patterns ofCsbHLHgenes under NaCl (100 mM) treatment (a), ABA (100 μM) treatment (b) and low temperature (4 °C) treatment (c). (d) Tissue-specific expression profiles of five cucumberbHLHgenes. Total RNA was isolated from roots (R), stems (S), young leaves (YL), male flowers (MF), ovary (O) and tendrils (T), respectively. The cucumberβ-actingene was performed as an internal control, and three independent samples were used for these experiments. Error bars indicated standard errors (SE)
