Table I.
Comparison of the Ca2+ peaks triggered by H2O2 treatment
| Plant Tissue | Percentage of Cotyledon Peak Height | Percentage of Total Luminescence |
|---|---|---|
| Cotyledons | (100) | 23 |
| Upper root | 11 | 14 |
| Mid root | 22 | 23 |
| Lower root | 33 | 40 |
The maximum count value of calcium-dependent luminescence (peak height) emitted by the cotyledons was taken as 100% and compared to the peak heights of different root sections. The percentage of total luminescence for each part of the seedling was calculated ([sum of counts for section/sum of all parts] × 100).
