Fig. 4. Spatiotemporal expression of HvAPX1 and ascorbate-dependent peroxidase
activity in hermaphroditic H. viridis. (A-C) Whole-mount in
situ hybridisation. (D,E) Cellular in situ hybridisation. (D)
Early oocyte; (E) cells from the ovary region showing HvAPX1 expression in one
of the interstitial cells. (F-I) Peroxidase activity in the absence (F) or
presence of ascorbate as competing substrate at 1 mmol l-1 (G), 500
µmol l-1 (H), and 200 µmol l-1 (I). Scale bars:
100 µm (D) and 5 µm (E).
