From: Involvement of trehalose in hydrogen sulfide donor sodium hydrosulfide-induced the acquisition of heat tolerance in maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings

Figure 5

Effects of NaHS (A) and TPP inhibitor sodium citrate (SC, B) pretreatment on the content of endogenous trehalose in coleoptiles and roots of maize seedlings under normal culture conditions and heat stress. Seedlings of maize were irrigated with 100 ml of 0.6 mM NaHS alone or in combination with 0.6 mM sodium citrate for 6 h, and then transferred to heat stress, during the treatment and heat stress, endogenous trehalose content in coleoptiles and roots of maize seeds was determined. Error bars represent standard error and each data in figure represents the mean ± SE of three experiments, and asterisk and double asterisks indicate significant difference (P < 0.05) and very significant difference (P < 0.01) from the control without NaHS treatment, respectively.
