A reliable H2O2 quantitation method from plant cell lysate using Amplex Red is proposed.
Commonly used extraction additives interfered with Amplex Red assay directly or indirectly.
Constitutive and induced levels of H2O2 from three plants pine, rice and Arabidopsis is reported.
Testing the effect of plant extract matrix on Amplex Red is critical for H2O2 quantitation.
Amplex Red working solution is stable over a month under appropriate storage conditions.
