The plant glutathione peroxidase (GPX) family consists of multiple isoenzymes with distinct
subcellular locations which exhibit different tissue-specific expression patterns and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in plants as byproducts during many
metabolic reactions, such as photosynthesis and respiration. Oxidative stress occurs when …

Oxidative stress is induced by a wide range of environmental factors including UV stress,
pathogen invasion (hypersensitive reaction), herbicide action and oxygen shortage. Oxygen …

This review describes in vitro mutation induction methods in fruits and the in vitro selection
procedures available for early screening. Results obtained through in vitro mutation …

Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are a group of enzymes that protect cells against oxidative
damage generated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The presence of GPXs in plants has …

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 …

Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs, EC 1.11. 1.9) were first discovered in mammals as key
enzymes involved in scavenging of activated oxygen species (AOS). Their efficient …

Abstract Changes in the antioxidative enzyme activities (SOD, CuZnSOD, GSH-Px, GST), as
well as TBARS content in 5-week-old tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv “Perkoz”) …

To evaluate the physiological potential of the defense system against hydroperoxidation of
membrane‐lipid components caused by environmental stresses in higher plants, we …

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 …
