Heavy metal exist naturally in environment, but due to human and some natural activities
they have been entered to water bodies, air and soil and have become one of the major …

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 term “hyperaccumulator” describes a number of plants that belong to distantly related
families, but share the ability to grow on metalliferous soils and to accumulate extraordinarily …

The important role of plant peroxisomes in a variety of metabolic reactions such as
photorespiration, fatty acid β-oxidation, the glyoxylate cycle and generation–degradation of …

Photosysthetic cleavage of water molecules to molecular oxygen is a crucial process for all
aerobic life on the Earth. Light-driven oxidation of water occurs in photosystem II (PSII)—a …

Leaf senescence is a genetically programmed decline in various cellular processes
including photosynthesis and involves the hydrolysis of macromolecules such as proteins …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multisubunit protein complex in cyanobacteria, algae and plants
that use light energy for oxidation of water and reduction of plastoquinone. The conversion …

The effects of in vivo copper on the lipid composition of root plasma membrane and the
activities of membrane‐bound enzymes, such as NADPH‐dependent oxidases and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the damage and response of cyanobacteria
to UV-B irradiation. In cyanobacteria, there are several targets for the potentially toxic ROS …

ABSTRACT NADPH is an important molecule in the redox balance of the cell. In this paper,
using olive tissue cultures as a model of the function of the NADPH‐generating …
