Antioxidant activity in highbush blueberry cultivars under Al toxicity. Antioxidant activity in (a) roots and (b) leaves in control (0 μM Al) and aluminum (200 μM Al) treatments in cultivars Brigitta, Star, Duke, Camellia, and Cargo at 24 and 48 h. The values are the average of three measurements per cultivar and treatment. Due to a lack of differences among time points in treatments without Al, we considered the values at 0 h as the average among the start of the experiment and the respective controls for each time point (24 and 48 h). Bars represent standard error among replicates. Uppercase letters denote significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) among cultivars, and lowercase letters denote significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) among exposure times, according to Dunn test, Bonferroni correction and Tukey test.
