The 8-day-old seedlings grown on 0%, 0.5%, or 2% sucrose 1/2 MS medium were harvested and total proteins were extracted at 4 °C. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were measured with SOD and CAT assay kits (Comin Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Suzhou, China) as described [30 (link)]. A spectrophotometer (DU730, Beckman Coulter, Pasadena, CA, USA) was used to measure the absorbances at 560 nm and 240 nm for SOD and CAT, respectively.
