I need to assess the tolerance of different plant species to rare earth elements, and I know it’s important to measure reactive oxygen species, but since they’re unstable, this experiment has proven quite difficult for me to carry out.
I read that acetic acid is also measured; I have a protocol for that which is easier since it uses spectrophotometry, but I’m not sure if it’s sufficient to replace the measurement of ROS.
Thank you for your responses and comments. Please let me know if there are any other protocols I can use to replace the measurement of ROS.
