The Hydrogen Sulfide Donor NaHS Delays Programmed Cell Death in Barley Aleurone Layers by Acting as an Antioxidant

Figure 2

Effects of NaHS on the contents of (a), H₂O₂ (b), and MDA (c) in barley aleurone layers. Aleurone layers treated with 0, 0.05, and 0.25 mM NaHS for 1 d are incubated DCHF-DA and are observed by fluorescence microscopy (d). Bar, 100 μm. Data are expressed as means ± SD of three independent experiments with three replicates of 15 grains per treatment. The symbols and mean significant difference at and between NaHS (H₂S) and water (control) treatment, respectively.
