Cadmium-induced accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in the leaf apoplast of Pha…

Abstract. The effects of cadmium (Cd) on the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2•−) in leaves of Phaseolus aureus and Vicia sativa were investigated. Cadmium at 100M significantly increased the production of O2•− and H2O2, as well as the activities of plasma membrane-bound nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases and the symplastic …
