Effects of H2O2 treatment on horsetail mobility.
(A) Images showing the typical appearance of horsetail cells after exposure to increasing concentrations of H2O2 in sporulation medium. At doses >20 mM H2O2 Rec8- and alpha tubulin-GFP fluorescence is quenched. (B) Above this dose the average speed of the horsetail mobility is significantly reduced, likely by oxidative damage to microtubules and other cellular proteins. The reduction of horsetail motility by 200 mM H2O2 is similar to values observed after treatment with the microtubule drug TBZ (see Fig. 3C). ROS induced with 100 mM H2O2 render horsetail speed values similar to 200 Gy X irradiation.
