Effects of heat stress on the APX activity (A) and production of ASC (B). Tall fescue leaves were vacuum infiltrated with water (24Ct, 44Ct) for 15 min in the dark. Then, they were moved into a growth cabinet with a temperature of 24 or 44°C, a light intensity of 100 μmol photons m-2 s-1 and a humidity of 80% for 4 h. Afterward, tall fescue leaves were ground in liquid nitrogen and used to determine the concentration of Asc as well as APX activity. Values are provided as the means ± SD (n = 5), and different letters indicate statistically significant difference at P < 0.05 among the treatments according to Duncan’s multiple range tests.
