Aldehyde dehydrogenases engage in many cellular functions, however their dysfunction
resulting in accumulation of their substrates can be cytotoxic. ALDHs are responsible for the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously generated within living systems and the
inability to manage ROS load leads to elevated oxidative stress and cell damage. Oxidative …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids present in plant membranes react with reactive oxygen species
through so-called lipid oxidation events. They generate great diversity of highly-reactive lipid …

The development of orthodox seeds concludes by a desiccation phase. The dry seeds then
enter a phase of dormancy, also called the after-ripening phase, and become competent for …

Oxidation of membrane lipids by reactive oxygen species (ROS) or O2/lipoxygenase leads
to the formation of various bioactive compounds collectively called oxylipins. Reactive …

Accumulation of lipid peroxide-derived aldehydes and ketones is a ubiquitous event in
oxidative stress. The toxicity of these carbonyls, especially the α, β-unsaturated carbonyls …

Seed deterioration is a partially elucidated phenomenon that happen during the life of the
seed. This review describes the processes that lead to seed deterioration, including loss of …

Abstract Tree peony (Paeonia section Moutan DC.) seeds are an excellent source of
beneficial natural compounds that promote health, and they contain high levels of alpha …

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of completely
sequenced plant genomes. The comparison of fully sequenced genomes allows for …

Mammalian ALDH7A1 is homologous to plant ALDH7B1, an enzyme that protects against
various forms of stress, such as salinity, dehydration, and osmotic stress. It is known that …
