Fig. 3. Effects of heat stress and ABA on O2 consumption and dye
filtration in A. polypoides. O2 consumption (panels A and
C) and dye filtration (panels B and D) were measured at 16°C on A.
polypoides fragments (approx. 5 cm length) before (control,
) and
after exposure to 24°C for 30 minutes (
) or addition of 20 µM
ABA (
). Results shown in each panel are from one representative
experiment out of five, performed on different animals. The calculated slope
of the linear regression curves (R
0.98), relative to the respective
control, is shown. The arrows indicate aeration of SW (panels A and C) or dye
addition to the SW (panels B and D).
