Differences in ROS accumulation of Nβ and Sβ plants under non-stress and stress conditions. A The Nβ and Sβ leaves were evaluated for superoxide anions using NBT staining under non-stress and UV-B stress; further, the contents of B H2O2 and C O2 were measured each day during the entire period of UV-B stress (1–5 days). Evaluation of lipid peroxidation was conducted by measuring D MDA levels. The means with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05) within the same treatment. Lines with asterisks indicate significant differences between non-stress and UV-B stress conditions of the same plants (Nβns vs. Nβuvs and Sβns vs. Sβuvs), as determined by Student’s t test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)
