Fig. 8From: Overexpression of Vitreoscilla hemoglobin increases waterlogging tolerance in Arabidopsis and maizeInduction of ADH1 mRNA expression and POD activity in response to waterlogging. a, ADH1 mRNA level. b, Peroxidase enzyme activity. Zheng58, Zheng58 (VHb), CML50, and CML50 (VHb) seedlings were subjected to waterlogging. Roots collected at different time points under waterlogged conditions were used to isolate total RNA and extract POD. The ADH1 mRNA levels were determined by qRT-PCR. The peroxidase activity represents the mean values ± SE of three independent analyses. Student’s t-test was performed. * indicates p < 0.05; ** indicates p < 0.001Back to article page
