Changes in respiration and H2O2 content after 10 μM KCN pretreatment. Comparison of the rates of Vt (A) and Valt (B), and the H2O2 content (C) with or without 10 μM KCN pretreatment for 12 h. Vt, total respiration. Valt, alternative oxidase pathway respiration. In each test, 10 seeds were used to measure respiration or H2O2 production. Data are the means ±SD of three replicates from three independent experiments. Asterisks represent the significant differences (one-way ANOVA, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001) between cyanide-pretreated samples (KCN) and the control (CK)
