Effect of H₂S on Cd-caused oxidation damage in Chinese cabbage roots. (a) Content of MDA. (b) Electrolyte leakage percentage. CK: control; NaHS: fumigated with 5 M NaHS for 24 h; Cd: 5 mM Cd stressed for 48 h; NaHS + Cd: seedlings fumigated with 5 M NaHS for 24 h and then treated with 5 mM Cd for 48 h; HA + Cd: seedlings treated with 1 mM HA for 4 h and then treated with 5 mM Cd for 48 h; HA: seedlings treated with 1 mM HA for 4 h. Data are mean ± SE of three independent repeats. LSD was used for multiple comparisons; different letters indicate significant differences ().
