Interactive effects of exogenous melatonin and selenium on osmotic metabolites, reactive oxidative species, relative electrolyte leakage, and histochemical staining. Effects of different treatments of exogenous melatonin (MT) (0 μM, 50 μM and 100 μM) and selenium (Se) (0 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM and 200 μM) on the (a) soluble sugar (mg/g FW), (b) relative electrolyte leakage (%) and relative water content (%), (c) proline contents (mg/g FW) and free amino acid (mg/g FW) in the leaves, and (d) H2O2 (nmol mg− 1 FW), (e) O2•– (nmol mg− 1 FW), (f) MDA (nmol mg− 1 FW) contents in the leaves and roots, and root staining with (g) 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and (h) nitro-blue tetrazolium (NBT) of Brassica napus cv. ZS 758
