Cereals and legumes are outstanding sources of macronutrients, micronutrients,
phytochemicals, as well as antinutritional factors. These components present a complex …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium (Ca2+) signalling are interconnected in the
perception and transmission of environmental signals that control plant growth, development …

Over-production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants under stress conditions is a
common phenomenon. Plants tend to counter this problem through their ability to synthesize …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) typically produce in algae and act as secondary
messengers in numerous cellular processes. Under abiotic stresses, the balance between …

Vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) is an excellent free radical scavenger, not only for its capability to
donate reducing equivalents but also for the relative stability of the derived …

Under conditions of abiotic stress several physiological and biochemical processes in plants
can be modified. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is toxic at high …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate plant growth and development. ROS are kept at
low levels in cells to prevent oxidative damage, allowing them to be effective signaling …

Background Germination has been widely employed to produce germinated edible seeds
and sprouts for consumption in our daily life. Through simple germination procedures, many …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution renders many soils across the world unsuited or unsafe for food-or
feed-orientated agriculture. The main mechanism of Cd phytotoxicity is the induction of …

Throughout evolution, a number of animals including humans have lost the ability to
synthesize ascorbic acid (ascorbate, vitamin C), an essential molecule in the physiology of …
