(B) The superoxide content in the infected leaves at 1 dpi. Bar, 1.00 cm. The activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) (C) , peroxidase (POD) (D) , catalase (CAT) (E) , and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) (F) . Bars represent mean ± SD obtained from three biological replicates per genotype and time point, superoxide content or the activities of the antioxidant enzymes measured from five leaves of each genotype and treatment were pooled for one replicate. (G,H) Relative expression levels of defense-related genes PR1 and PR2. The expression of ACTIN2 was used as an internal reference. Data presented are mean ± SD from three independent experiments. Significant differences ( P < 0.05) are denoted by different lowercase letters.

The measurements were done at one week after drought (1-WAD), two weeks after drought (2-WAD) and five days after re-watering (5-DARW). Bars are mean ± SE of three replications (n = 3). The bars having the same letters don’t differ significantly at p ≤ 0.05.
