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 have to counteract unavoidable stress-caused anomalies such as oxidative stress to
sustain their lives and serve heterotrophic organisms including humans. Among major …

When plants are exposed to stressful environmental conditions, the production of Reactive
Oxygen Species (ROS) increases and can cause significant damage to the cells. Antioxidant …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have multifaceted roles in the orchestration of plant gene
expression and gene-product regulation. Cellular redox homeostasis is considered to be an …

To find evidence for a connection between heat stress response, oxidative stress, and
common stress tolerance, we studied the effects of elevated growth temperatures and heat …

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 …

We studied the response of each ascorbate peroxidase (APX) isoenzyme in spinach leaves
under stress conditions imposed by high light intensity, drought, salinity, and applications of …

Despite the intensive management practices available to modern agriculture, drought and
salinity are still major constraints on crop production and food security. Yield losses to …

The Arabidopsis gene APX3 that encodes a putative peroxisomal membrane-bound
ascorbate peroxidase was expressed in transgenic tobacco plants. APX3-expressing lines …

Ascorbate peroxidases (APX), localized in the cytosol, peroxisomes, mitochondria and
chloroplasts of plant cells, catalyze the reduction of H2O2 to water by using ascorbic acid …
