The discovery that there is a close relationship between ascorbate and glutathione dates
from soon after the characterization of the chemical formulae of the two molecules (Szent …

Oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are common to many fundamental
responses of plants. Enormous and ever‐growing interest has focused on this research …

▪ Abstract Several reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously produced in plants as
byproducts of aerobic metabolism. Depending on the nature of the ROS species, some are …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) control many different processes in plants. However, being
toxic molecules, they are also capable of injuring cells. How this conflict is resolved in plants …

▪ Abstract Rapid generation of superoxide and accumulation of H2O2 is a characteristic
early feature of the hypersensitive response following perception of pathogen avirulence …

Adaptation to environmental changes is crucial for plant growth and survival. However, the
molecular and biochemical mechanisms of adaptation are still poorly understood and the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have multifaceted roles in the orchestration of plant gene
expression and gene-product regulation. Cellular redox homeostasis is considered to be an …

When plants are attacked by pathogens, they defend themselves with an arsenal of defence
mechanisms, both passive and active. The active defence responses, which require de novo …

Plants are constantly being challenged by aspiring pathogens, but disease is rare. Why?
Broadly, there are three reasons for pathogen failure. Either (1) the plant is unable to support …

As plants are confined to the place where they grow, they have to develop a broad range of
defence responses to cope with pathogenic infections. The oxidative burst, a rapid, transient …
