To evaluate high-resolution, noninvasive digital imaging methods for mapping spatial photo-oxidative stress responses and antioxidant gene expression in intact leaf tissues.
Imaged chloroplast-specific photoinhibition in Arabidopsis leaves using chlorophyll fluorescence microscopy.
Tracked singlet oxygen via DanePy fluorescence quenching, alongside histochemical detection of superoxide via nitroblue tetrazolium and hydrogen peroxide via 3,3'-diaminobenzidine.
Monitored antioxidant gene induction via bioluminescence imaging in an Arabidopsis APX2-LUC reporter line co-expressing ascorbate peroxidase and firefly luciferase.
Singlet oxygen and superoxide generation localized predominantly to photosynthetic mesophyll tissues.
Hydrogen peroxide accumulation and APX2 antioxidant gene expression localized primarily to leaf vascular tissues.
