Transcript abundance of the GMP (A), GME (B), VTC2 (C), VTC4 (D), GDH (E), GLDH (F), APX1 (G), APX2 (H), AO (I), MDHAR (J), DHAR (K) and GR (L) expression in the soybean sprouts exposed to white light or UV-A for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h. Plants were grown in the dark for 72 h and then transferred to 50 ± 5 µmol·m−2·s−1 white light or 5.5 W·m−2 UV-A light for the times indicated prior to harvest. W: Sprouts cultivated in distilled water under white light; W+HRW: Sprouts cultivated in HRW under white light; UV-A: Sprouts cultivated in distilled water under UV-A; UV-A+HRW: Sprouts cultivated in HRW under UV-A. Data are the mean ± standard error (n = 3); Columns represent the mean (+SD) values of independent experiments (n = 3) based on transcript-level data normalized to W+Con at 12 h, 24 h and 36 h; Different letters indicate significant differences (Duncan’s test, P < 0.05).
