Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as a normal product of plant cellular
metabolism. Various environmental stresses lead to excessive production of ROS causing …

▪ Abstract To cope with environmental fluctuations and to prevent invasion by pathogens,
plant metabolism must be flexible and dynamic. Active oxygen species, whose formation is …

Drought is one of the most important environmental factor limiting the growth of woody and
non woody plants. In the present paper, we aimed to explore the performance of Maclura …

▪ Abstract Photoreduction of dioxygen in photosystem I (PSI) of chloroplasts generates
superoxide radicals as the primary product. In intact chloroplasts, the superoxide and the …

Increasing temperature poses a serious threat to rice productivity. This study investigated the
impact of various biochar treatments and phosphorous (P) fertilization on osmolyte …

Ascorbate peroxidase is a hydrogen peroxide‐scavenging enzyme that is specific to plants
and algae and is indispensable to protect chloroplasts and other cell constituents from …

Even under optimal conditions, many metabolic processes, including the chloroplastic,
mitochondrial, and plasma membrane‐linked electron transport systems of higher plants …

The primary reaction product of chloroplast ascorbate peroxidase activity was shown to be
monodehydroascorbate radical (MDA). MDA reductase (EC 1.6. 5.4) was localized in …

The production of active oxygen species is inevitable in chloroplasts even under favorable
environmental conditions. The photoreduction of oxygen has been observed even in …

Intracellular antioxidants include low molecular weight scavengers of oxidizing species, and
enzymes which degrade superoxide and hydroperoxides. Such antioxidants systems …
