Melatonin and MT-homologs induce the H2O2 accumulation in N. benthamiana leaves. Detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in N. benthamiana leaves treated with various test compounds as determined by diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining. (A) Photographs of representative ethanol-bleached leaves 8 h after treatment with 50 μM solutions of MT, 5-methoxytryptamine, and 5-methoxyindole. (B) Quantitative scoring of staining in treated leaves. Data are the mean ± standard deviations (SDs; n = 27). Different letters indicate that the means are statistically significantly different at p < 0.01.
