Fig. 3: MdATG18a overexpression resulted in reduced H2O2 accumulation and increased antioxidant activity and AsA-GSH cycling upon D. mali infection.

From: Overexpression of MdATG18a in apple improves resistance to Diplocarpon mali infection by enhancing antioxidant activity and salicylic acid levels

a H2O2 concentrations and H2O2-scavenging enzymes activity. b Concentrations of antioxidants and transcript levels for genes involved in AsA-GSH cycle. H2O2-scavenging enzymes and concentrations of antioxidants were measured at 10 dpi. Expression levels were calculated relative to the expression of Malus EF-1α mRNA at 6 dpi. Expression in WT under control conditions was set to “1”. Data are means of three replicates with SD. Experimental data were presented as means ± SD. Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments, according to one-way ANOVA Tukey’s multiple range tests (P < 0.05)
