I am having high value of tbars in moderate water stress as compared to severe STRESS. While in control this tbars value IS HIGHEST. What does it indicate?
i have prepared reagents myself...measuring MDA from leaf sample...tbars should be high in stress condition...but in my control dis value is high...i think I should repeat my experiment
Dear Priyanka, you must consider at least three common items. first: If the prepared MDA standard is lower than real, the results in both case and control will be false positive and you will have high results. So prepare the MDA standard with more precision. The second, you did not say about average obtained MDA , the linear amount of MDA in this reaction is maximum 50µM, so if your obtained results is higher you have to dilute your samples before assay. Third: The TBA reaction depends on acidity of the reaction if your acetic acid reagent has problem, the results will be higher than real, so check the HOAC too.
