Fig. 4From: Identification and characterization of a spotted-leaf mutant spl40 with enhanced bacterial blight resistance in riceROS scavenging enzymes and associated genes. a–c Enzymatic activities of CAT, SOD and POD at seedling and tillering stage. SOD, superoxide dismutase; CAT, catalase; POD, peroxidase. d Expression levels of genes encoding ROS-generating enzymes. e Expression levels of ROS detoxification-related genes. f Expression levels of senescence-related genes. Values are means ± SD (n = 3); ** indicates significance at P ≤ 0.01 and * indicates significance at P ≤ 0.05 by Student’s t testBack to article page
