Simple Summary Higher plants face a variety of stress conditions. There are a number of
different antioxidant enzymes that help plants to cope with these stresses. During stresses …

Exposure to a variety of environmental factors such as salinity, drought, metal toxicity,
extreme temperature, air pollutants, ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B) radiation, pesticides, and pathogen …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were initially recognized as toxic by-products of aerobic
metabolism. In recent years, it has become apparent that ROS plays an important signaling …

In a persistently changing environment, plants are constantly challenged by various abiotic
stresses such as salinity, drought, temperature extremes, heavy metal toxicity, high-light …

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation has long been perceived as a stressor. However, a conceptual
U-turn has taken place, and UV-B damage is now considered rare. We question whether UV …

The stationary life of plants has led to the evolution of a complex gridded antioxidant
defence system constituting numerous enzymatic components, playing a crucial role in …

Abstract Earlier, Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiations were considered to be detrimental to plant
cells and their components. But recent researches have shown that it has multifaceted …
