Qualitative Analysis of Lipid Peroxidation in Plants under Multiple Stress Through Schiff's Reagent: A Histochemical Approach.

Lipid peroxidation is a physiological indicator of both biotic and abiotic stress responses, hence is often used as a biomarker to assess stress-induced cell damage or death. Here we demonstrate an easy, quick and cheap staining method to assess lipid peroxidation in plant tissues. In this methodology, Schiff's reagent, is used to assay for membrane degradation.
