Expression of maize ascorbate peroxidase (APX) genes APX6 (A), APX4 (B), APX3 (C) and APX1.2 (D) in maize leaves in response to inhibition of nitric oxide synthase-like activity by L-NAME. Transcript levels are expressed relative to the average level of expression of three reference genes (Elongation Factor 1α, β-tubulin and Actin 2) in each treatment. In all cases, DETA/NO was used as a NO donor to offset the effect of L-NAME on nitric oxide content. Error bars represent means ± S.D. from three independent experiments. Different letters above bars indicate statistically significant differences between means of the treatments (p ≤ 0.05).
