1 Fig. 1. Optical microscopy images of protoplasts and vacuoles isolated from C. roseus leaves. Protoplast fraction (A), vacuole fraction (B), and Western blot of protein extracts from protoplasts (Pro) and vacuoles (Vac), probed with an anti-calreticulin antibody (ER-resident protein) (C). The marker was only observed in protoplasts (arrow), demonstrating the absence of other cellular endomembranes in the vacuolar fraction. Bar, 50 μm.

Fig. 5. Peroxidase isoenzyme pattern of C. roseus extracts after isoelectric focusing. Leaf protein extract (Leaf), extracellular protein extract (ExtCel), protoplast extract (Pro), and vacuole extract (Vac). The basic band corresponds to CrPrx1 and is the only isoenzyme present in protoplasts and vacuoles. Different lanes correspond to non contiguous parts of the same gel.

All sections were incubated with DAB and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, and they show electron-dense deposits representative of peroxidase activity mainly in spots of the inner surface of the tonoplast (B–D), and rare deposits in the external face of the plasma membrane (arrows in A and E).

Fig. 7. Peroxidase activity in leaves of C. roseus plants adapted to fluorescent light with a maximum intensity of 70 μmol m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> (Low light) and after exposure of the same plants to sunlight with a maximum intensity of 1400 μmol m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> for 7 d (High light). Percentage values in the graph refer to the increase observed in peroxidase activity for each plant or the average after exposure to high light conditions.

8 Fig. 8. Co-operative action of ascorbic acid with the couple Prx/phenols, generating a self-sustained Prx substrate regeneration cycle. A phenolic compound (Ph) is oxidized into a phenolic radical (Ph·) by Prx, which in turn oxidizes ascorbic acid (AsA) to monodehydroascorbate (MDHA) returning to the original form. MDHA will interact spontaneously to produce AsA+dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) which may be reduced back to AsA by a cytosolic dehydroascorbic acid reductase (cDHAR) (adapted from Yamasaki et al. 1997and reproduced by kind permission of The American Society of Plant Biologists © 1997).

9 Fig. 9. Model proposed for the role of the vacuolar couple Prx/SMs as a sink/buffer of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> levels in plant leaf cells. H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> produced in the chloroplasts during excess light will diffuse spontaneously to sink spots in the vacuole, where Prx will reduce H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> to water through oxidation of available secondary metabolite substrates (SM) into secondary metabolite radicals (SM·).
