ROS levels and activity of ROS-related enzymes in wallflower petals (a) Quantification of relative H2O2 production in wallflower petals (Stage 1- first fully open flower to Stage 6 – abscission; mean ± SE, n = 9); (b) Quantification of relative H2O2 production in detached wallflower petals in the first 3 days following STS and 6-MP treatment. (mean ± SE, n = 9). c zymograms of APX (ascorbate peroxidase), SOD (superoxide dismutase) and CAT (catalase) isoforms active in wallflower petals at Stages 1–6. Loading control gel images are shown beneath each zymogram; (d) quantification of zymogram bands using Image-J (arbitrary units)
