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 …

During the course of their ontogenesis plants are continuously exposed to a large variety of
abiotic stress factors which can damage tissues and jeopardize the survival of the organism …

Oxidative stress occurs when crop plants are exposed to extreme abiotic conditions that lead
to the excessive production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Those …

One of the most significant manifestations of environmental stress in plants is the increased
production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). These ROS, if allowed to accumulate …

Plants alter their morphology and cellular homeostasis to promote resilience under a variety
of heat regimes. Molecular processes that underlie these responses have been intensively …

Light intensity and temperature are primary environmental factors affecting the growth and
development of plants. Changes in their intensity, range and duration can lead to …

The increase in environmental temperature due to global warming is a critical threat to plant
growth and productivity. Heat stress can cause impairment in several biochemical and …

Plants produce a wide spectrum of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in various
tissues above and below ground to communicate with other plants and organisms. However …

In plants, male reproductive development is extremely sensitive to adverse climatic
environments and (a) biotic stress. Upon exposure to stress, male gametophytic organs …

As sessile organisms, plants face a variety of environmental challenges. Their reproduction
