PCR amplification, GUS stain identification, and functional analysis of Arabidopsis transformed with a AgAPX1 gene. a PCR amplification of AgAPX1 from the cDNA of transgenic Arabidopsis plants. b Histochemical GUS assays of control line and transgenic lines. c Ascorbate levels of 4-weeks-old transgenic Arabidopsis and WT plants. d The difference of antioxidant capacity between 4-weeks-old transgenic Arabidopsis and WT plants. WT, non-transgenic Arabidopsis (negative control); AgAPX1–4 and AgAPX1–16, transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Error bars represent standard deviation among three independent replicates. Data are expressed as the means ± standard deviation (SD) of three replicates. Different letters represent significant difference at 0.05 level
