Figure Lengend Snippet: Time courses of reduced (GSH) ( A , D ) and oxidized (GSSG) ( B , E ) glutathione contents and their ratio ( C , F ) in the elongation zone of cotton ( A – C ) and maize ( D – F ) primary roots during 48 h after transplanting to water-stressed (WS, shaded bars) or well-watered (WW, open bars) conditions. In the water stress treatments, vermiculite water potentials were −1.0 MPa (cotton) and −1.6 MPa (maize), which resulted in equivalent root tip water potentials in the two species . The whole elongation zone (water-stressed cotton, 0–6 mm; water-stressed maize, 0–7 mm; well-watered cotton and maize, 0–12 mm) was collected. Data are the means ± SE ( n = 3–6). ANOVA analyses compare the data at different time points across treatments within each species; different letters indicate significant differences ( p < 0.05).
Article Snippet: For other measurements, ANOVA analyses and t -tests were carried out in Minitab (Minitab, LLC, State College, PA, USA) to compare across time and treatments.
