Figure 1.
Nitroblue tetrazolium stains the growing tips of wild-type root hairs soon after initiation (A) and during subsequent rapid tip growth (B). This indicates that superoxide accumulates at the site of growth. C, Plants that are homozygous for the rhd2 mutation do not stain with nitroblue tetrazolium, indicating that accumulation of superoxide at the root hair tip requires the activity of the RHD2/AtrbohC NOX (Figure 1 is courtesy of Dr. Seiji Takeda, John Innes Centre).
