Climate change has increased the overall impact of abiotic stress conditions such as
drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures on plants. Abiotic stress adversely affects the …

Plants have to counteract unavoidable stress-caused anomalies such as oxidative stress to
sustain their lives and serve heterotrophic organisms including humans. Among major …

When plants are exposed to stressful environmental conditions, the production of Reactive
Oxygen Species (ROS) increases and can cause significant damage to the cells. Antioxidant …

Four heme peroxidase superfamilies (peroxidase–catalase, peroxidase–cyclooxygenase,
peroxidase–chlorite dismutase and peroxidase–peroxygenase superfamily) arose …

As plants are sessile organisms, they are inevitably exposed to a variety of environmental
stimuli that trigger rapid changes in the generation and disposal of reactive oxygen species …

Among major reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exhibits dual roles
in plant metabolism. Low levels of H2O2 modulate many biological/physiological processes …

Background Celery is a widely cultivated vegetable abundant in ascorbate (AsA), a natural
plant antioxidant capable of scavenging free radicals generated by abiotic stress in plants …

Contemporaneous presence of both oxidized and reduced forms of electron carriers is
mandatory in efficient flux by plant electron transport cascades. This requirement is …

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an enzyme co-factor in eukaryotes that also plays a critical role
in protecting photosynthetic eukaryotes against damaging reactive oxygen species derived …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical which modulates protein function and gene expression
throughout all stages of plant development. Fruit ripening involves a complex scenario …
