Figure 7From: Involvement of trehalose in hydrogen sulfide donor sodium hydrosulfide-induced the acquisition of heat tolerance in maize (Zea mays L.) seedlingsEffects of exogenous trehalose pretreatment on electrolyte leakage (A) and the content of MDA (B) of maize seedlings under heat stress at 47°C. were irrigated with 100 ml of 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mM trehalose for 6 h, respectively, and then were subjected to heat stress at 47°C for 15 h, electrolyte leakage in roots and MDA content in coleoptiles of maize seedlings were calculated. 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 trehalose treatment, respectively.Back to article page
