Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a biologically relevant reactive oxygen species capable of efficiently
reacting with cellular constituents. The resulting oxidatively generated damage to nucleic …

Modern agriculture is facing twin challenge of ensuring global food security and executing it
in a sustainable manner. However, the rapidly expanding salinity stress in cultivable areas …

A radical is any molecule that contains one or more unpaired electrons. Radicals are normal
products of many metabolic pathways. Some exist in a controlled (caged) form as they …

Various abiotic stresses lead to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in
plants which are highly reactive and toxic and cause damage to proteins, lipids …

▪ Abstract The phenomenon of oxygen toxicity is universal, but only recently have we begun
to understand its basis in molecular terms. Redox enzymes are notoriously nonspecific …

Salt stress causes multifarious adverse effects in plants. Of them, production of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) is a common phenomenon. These ROS are highly reactive because …

This review article focuses on a critical survey of the main available information on the UVB
and UVA oxidative reactions to cellular DNA as the result of direct interactions of UV …

A predominantly plant-based diet reduces the risk for development of several chronic
diseases. It is often assumed that antioxidants contribute to this protection, but results from …

▪ Abstract Reactive oxygen intermediates are produced in all aerobic organisms during
respiration and exist in the cell in a balance with biochemical antioxidants. Excess reactive …

Humans are unique indiscriminate carotenoid accumulators, so the human body
accumulates a wide range of dietary carotenoids of different types and to varying …
