Figure 5

Enhanced protection of the PSII and of cellular membranes in the 35S:A9/A4a seedlings. Results from experiments performed with the same sibling line pairs as in Figure 4. Data are mean values ± SE. (A) Comparison of maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) of PSII. Sample sizes are indicated with bracketed numbers within the shaded bars. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences (P ≤ 0.01), observed only after the 300 mM H2O2 treatment. (B) Diminished electrolyte leakage (EL) in the 35S:A9/A4a seedlings. Results from two independent experiments (n = 17). EL was determined in deionized (MilliQ) water at different times between 1 h and 24 h.
