INTRODUCTION
The oxidative burst characteristic of gene-for-gene resistance responses and early events in establishment of systemic acquired resistance can be detected using 3,3'-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB), a stain for hydrogen peroxide. The presence of hydrogen peroxide, which is symptomatic of the hypersensitive response, causes polymerization of DAB, yielding a brown color. This protocol describes how to stain Arabidopsis tissue with DAB.
