Antioxidant enzymes in Shirogane-Komugi and Norin61 seeds during development and maturation processes. (A) APX (ascorbate peroxidase), (B) DHAR (dehydroascobate reductase), (C) CAT (catalase). White bars indicate Shirogane-Komugi and black bars indicate Norin61. The reported values are the means and S.D. of five replications. 1 unit = 1 nmol ascorbate oxidized min-1 kernel-1 (APX); 1 nmol DHA reduced min-1 kernel-1 (DHAR); 1 nmol H₂O₂ dismutated min-1 kernel-1. An asterisk indicates statistical significance at the 5% level (Student's t-test).
