Salt stress is a severe type of environmental stress. It adversely affects agricultural
production worldwide. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the most …

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 …

Salinity negatively affects plant growth and causes significant crop yield losses world-wide.
Maize is an economically important cereal crop affected by high salinity. In this study, maize …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate plant growth and development. ROS are kept at
low levels in cells to prevent oxidative damage, allowing them to be effective signaling …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in plants as byproducts during many
metabolic reactions, such as photosynthesis and respiration. Oxidative stress occurs when …

Singlet oxygen (1 O 2) is a singular reactive oxygen species (ROS) that is produced
constitutively in plant leaves in light via chlorophylls that act as photosensitizers. This 1 O 2 …

Tocopherols (vitamin E) are lipid soluble antioxidants synthesized by plants and some
cyanobacteria. We have earlier reported that overexpression of the γ-tocopherol methyl …

High-light illumination of photosynthetic organisms stimulates the production of singlet
oxygen by photosystem II (PSII) and causes photo-oxidative stress. In the PSII reaction …

Plant in vitro cultures are able to produce and accumulate many medicinally valuable
secondary metabolites. Antioxidants are an important group of medicinal preventive …

Tocopherols and tocotrienols, collectively known as tocochromanols, are lipid-soluble
molecules that belong to the group of vitamin E compounds and are essential in the human …
