Figure 2From: Selenite activates the alternative oxidase pathway and alters primary metabolism in Brassica napus roots: evidence of a mitochondrial stress responseSelenite decreases aconitase activity. Aconitase acitivity in root tissue was measured from untreated plants and plants treated with 50 μM selenite for 1 and 3 days. Shown are the mean and SE from 5 different plants. Lowercase letters represent a significant difference between treatments (p < 0.05).Back to article page
