Total plant protein was extracted in native condition as described previously [45 (link)] and quantified using Bradford method [46 (link)]. The glutathione S-transferase (GST, EC 2.5.1.18) enzyme activity was measured spectrophotometrically using reduced glutathione and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) substrates as published earlier [24 (link)]. The specific activity of GST (nmol/min/mg protein) was calculated and compared amongst the samples. This experiment was performed in triplicates and data was represent as the average value ± standard deviation (n = 3).
