Oxygen deprivation, in line with other stress conditions, is accompanied by reactive oxygen
(ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) formation and is characterised by a set of metabolic …

Abstract Alpha-tocopherol (α-Toc) is a member of the vitamin E family and is lipid soluble. Its
biosynthesis is by the reaction of isopentyl diphosphate and homogentisic acid in plastid …

The phytohormone ethylene is known to mediate a diverse array of signaling processes
during abiotic stress in plants. Whereas many reports have demonstrated enhanced …

Tocopherols are lipophilic antioxidants and together with tocotrienols belong to the vitamin-
E family. The four forms of tocopherols (α-, β-, γ-and δ-tocopherols) consist of a polar …

Tocopherols are antioxidants found in chloroplasts of leaves, and it is a matter of current
debate whether or not they can affect signaling and gene expression in plant cells. For …

Ethylene (ET) plays an important role as signal transducer in plants in response to
environmental stimuli. Under water deficient conditions, fine adjustment of osmosis and …

Tocopherols are lipid-soluble antioxidants synthesized in plastids of plants and other
photosynthetic organisms. The four known tocopherols, α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherol, differ in …

Tocopherols are a group of lipid-soluble compounds and they are essential for human
nutrition. Tocopherols are also well known as powerful antioxidants associated with …

Tocopherols are lipophilic molecules, ubiquitously synthesized in all photosynthetic
organisms. Being a group of vitamin E compounds, they play an essential role in human …

Plants are widely exposed to various abiotic stresses like temperature, drought, heavy
metals and salt. All of these stresses have a negative impact on the growth of plants. These …
