“…The inhibition of LMDC by DDC also implies that rose cells increased their rate of synthesis of O,-in response to elicitor treatment. More direct evidence for the synthesis of O,-was obtained by assaying O,-using LCDC, which is specific for O,- (Corbisier et al, 1987). Treatment of the cell suspension with 1 mM DDC was necessary to measure the accumulation of O,-, because 0,-was otherwise very rapidly converted to H,O, by SOD.…”
