The L-ascorbate peroxidase 6 gene (APX6) is one of the most important genes for
scavenging H2O2 and plays a vital role in plant resistance to environmental stresses. In this …

Soil salinization is a resource and ecological problem in the world. Thellungiella salsuginea
is becoming a new model plant because it resembles its relative species, Arabidopsis …

Background Celery is a widely cultivated vegetable abundant in ascorbate (AsA), a natural
plant antioxidant capable of scavenging free radicals generated by abiotic stress in plants …

A cDNA encoding a cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (APX), swAPX1, was isolated from cell
cultures of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) by cDNA library screening, and its expression in …

Chickpea is the second most widely grown legume in the world. Its cultivation is highly
affected by saline soils. Salt stress damages its all growth stages from germination to …

APX and GPX are two crucial plant antioxidant enzymes. By protein homology search, nine
APX and seven GPX members were identified in Sorghum bicolor genome. They were …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by plants. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one
important component of ROS and able to modulate plant growth and development at low …

Pepper is widely grown all over the world, so it faces many abiotic stresses, such as drought,
high temperature, low temperature, salt damage, and so on. Stresses causing the …

Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) plays a central role in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle and is a
key enzyme in cellular H2O2 metabolism. It includes a family of isoenzymes with different …

Peroxidases play prominent roles in antioxidant responses and stress tolerance in plants;
however, their functions in soybean tolerance to salt stress remain unclear. Here, we …
