Effects of acute drought stress on superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and glutathione reductase expression in the shoots of different peanut cultivars. (A) Superoxide dismutase, (B) peroxidase, and (C) glutathione reductase levels in different leaf layer samples from the drought-tolerant cultivar HY22 and the drought-sensitive cultivar FH18 after 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 4, and 36 h of drought treatment. (D) Superoxide dismutase, (E) peroxidase, and (F) glutathione reductase levels in different stem layer samples from HY22 and FH18 cultivars after 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 4, and 36 h of drought treatment. Values are means of three replicates; bars indicate ± standard error; letters indicate significant differences between HY22 and FH18 as determined via analysis of variance (ANOVA; the letters in the graph were significant at the 0.05 level of significance, with significant differences between letters in the same treatment time). L1, L2, and L3 represent different leaf layers from the root to the apical point; S1 and S2 represent different stem levels from the root to the apical point.
