Effects of H2, BSO, GSH, and Cd on lipid peroxidation (a), loss of plasma membrane integrity (b), localization of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (c), and the activity of peroxidase (POD) (d), superoxide dismutase (SOD) (e), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) (f), and catalase (CAT) (g) in alfalfa seedling roots. Five-day-old seedlings were pretreated with or without HRW, 500 μM BSO, and 1 mM GSH individually or in combination for 12 h followed by another 24 h treatment with 100 μM CdCl2. Bar = 1 mm. Values are the mean ± SE of three independent experiments with at least three replicates for each. Bars with different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple range test
