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 …

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 …

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 …

The introduction of molecular oxygen into the atmosphere was accompanied by the
generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as side products of many biochemical …

Carotenoids are known to play important roles in plants as antioxidants, accessory light‐
harvesting pigments, and attractants for pollinators and seed dispersers. A new function for …

Photoprotection of photosystem II (PSII) is essential to avoid the light-induced damage of the
photosynthetic apparatus due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (= photo-oxidative …

Carotenoids are considered to be the first line of defense of plants against singlet oxygen
(1O2) toxicity because of their capacity to quench 1O2 as well as triplet chlorophylls through …

This review presents recent developments in plant photobiology and lighting systems for
horticultural crops, as well as potential applications for cannabis (Cannabis sativa and C …

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 …

Photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into biomass and oxygen.
When in excess, light can be dangerous for the photosynthetic apparatus because it can …
