This review deals with the adaptive mechanisms that plants can implement to cope with the
challenge of salt stress. Plants tolerant to NaCl implement a series of adaptations to …

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 …

UV irradiation is demonstrated to initiate dopamine polymerization and deposition on
different surfaces under both acidic and basic pH. The observed acceleration of the …

▪ Abstract Several reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously produced in plants as
byproducts of aerobic metabolism. Depending on the nature of the ROS species, some are …

The reaction centers of PSI and PSII in chloroplast thylakoids are the major generation site
of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Photoreduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) …

Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the earliest responses of plant cells
to various biotic and abiotic stresses. ROS are capable of inducing cellular damage by …

Increased UV-B radiation on the earth's surface due to depletion of stratospheric ozone layer
is one of the changes of current climate-change pattern. The deleterious effects of UV-B …

Turnover of dysfunctional organelles is vital to maintain homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. As
photosynthetic organelles, plant chloroplasts can suffer sunlight-induced damage. However …

UV-B radiation is a key environmental signal that initiates diverse responses in plants that
affect metabolism, development, and viability. Many effects of UV-B involve the differential …

This chapter proposes that whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as signal transducing
or damaging molecules is mainly dependent on their quality and second, on their quantity …
