Abstract
► A tomato chloroplast glutathione reductase gene was cloned. ► We obtained antisense transgenic tomato lines with 60% decrease in GR activity. ► Transgenic plants displayed accumulation of H2O2 and improved sensitivity to chilling. ► Decrease in GR activity affected the activities of antioxidative enzymes APX and SOD. ► GR is essential for glutathione-ascorbate cycle and ROS scavenge.
