Reactive oxygen species (ROS)–the byproducts of aerobic metabolism–influence numerous
aspects of the plant life cycle and environmental response mechanisms. In plants, ROS act …

Light is essential for photosynthesis. Nevertheless, its intensity widely changes depending
on time of day, weather, season, and localization of individual leaves within canopies. This …

The reactions between peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and quinones were investigated for the
first time in this work, where benzoquinone (BQ) was selected as a model quinone. It was …

Oxidative stress is a complex chemical and physiological phenomenon that accompanies
virtually all biotic and abiotic stresses in higher plants and develops as a result of …

Oxygen is a natural acceptor of electrons in the respiratory pathway of aerobic organisms
and in many other biochemical reactions. Aerobic metabolism is always associated with the …

Global warming has led to increased temperature of the earth which is a major abiotic stress
posing a serious threat to the plants. Photosynthesis is amongst the plant cell functions that …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can attack a diverse range of targets to exert antimicrobial
activity, which accounts for their versatility in mediating host defense against a broad range …

Increases in ambient temperatures have been a severe threat to crop production in many
countries around the world under climate change. Chloroplasts serve as metabolic centers …

Isoprenoid quinones are one of the most important groups of compounds occurring in
membranes of living organisms. These compounds are composed of a hydrophilic head …

Light induced damage of the photosynthetic apparatus is an important and highly complex
phenomenon, which affects primarily the Photosystem II complex. Here the author …
