In plant cells, as in most eukaryotic organisms, peroxisomes are probably the major sites of
intracellular H2O2 production, as a result of their essentially oxidative type of metabolism. In …

Chromium (Cr) is the second most common metal contaminant in ground water, soil, and
sediments due to its wide industrial application, hence posing a serious environmental …

Calcium (Ca) plays important role in plant development and response to various
environmental stresses. However, its involvement in mitigation of heavy metal stress in …

Plants produce and emit terpenes, including sesquiterpenes, during growth and
development, which serve different functions in plants. The sesquiterpene nerolidol has …

Ammonia (ammonium ion under physiological conditions) is one of the key nitrogen sources
in cellular amino acid biosynthesis. It is continuously produced in living organisms by a …

Boron (B) is a microelement required in vascular plants at a high concentration that
produces excess boron and toxicity in many crops. B stress occurs widely and limits plant …

In present study, we evaluated the effects of Jasmonic acid (JA) on physio-biochemical
attributes, antioxidant enzyme activity, and gene expression in soybean (Glycine max L.) …

Leaf senescence is a highly regulated physiological process that leads to leaf death and is,
as such, the last developmental stage of the leaf. Plant aging and environmental stresses …

Peroxisomes can be broadly defined as subcellular organelles bounded by a single
membrane that contain as basic enzymatic constituents catalase and hydrogen peroxide …

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are a family of metalloenzymes that catalyze the dismutation
or disproportionation of superoxide radicals (O _ 2^ ⋅-O 2·-) into molecular oxygen (O 2) …
