Abstract

Deposition pattern of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under salt stress (100 mM NaCl) was examined cytochemically in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Pokkali) through the reaction of H2O2 with cerium chloride (CeCl3) to produce electron dense precipitates of cerium perhydroxide. The distribution pattern of cerium perhydroxide precipitates in leaf sheath was considerably different from other parts of rice under salinity stress. Cerium perhydroxide precipitates were mainly accumulated on the tonoplast of leaf sheath under salinity, although they were localized on the cell wall and plasma membrane in all other tissues such as leaf blade and root.
