Figure 7From: Selenite activates the alternative oxidase pathway and alters primary metabolism in Brassica napus roots: evidence of a mitochondrial stress responseThe effect of selenite on soluble sugars. Sucrose (a) and glucose (b) were estimated enzymatically from the roots of untreated plants and plants treated with 50 μM selenite for 1 and 3 d. Shown are the mean and SE from 6 individual plants. Lowercase letters represent significant differences between treatments (p < 0.05).Back to article page
