Figure 2.

Panels A, B, and C show visual comparisons between WT and spl39 plant leaves, with spl39 exhibiting dark spots and discoloration. Panels D to I present bar graphs comparing biochemical contents and enzyme activities between WT and spl39: increased H₂O₂ (D) and MDA (E) content in spl39, with decreased SOD (F), CAT (G), APX (H), and POD (I) activities. Double asterisks ** indicate significant differences.

Increased oxidative damage and altered antioxidant enzyme activities in the spl39 mutant. (A) DAB staining in leaves. (B) NBT staining in leaves. (C) Trypan blue staining in leaves. (D) Statistical analysis of H2O2 content. (E) Statistical analysis of MDA content. (F) Statistical analysis of SOD activity. (G) Statistical analysis of CAT activity. (H) Statistical analysis of APX activity. (I) Statistical analysis of POD activity. **P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test), error bars, ± SD (n=5).
