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

▪ Abstract To cope with environmental fluctuations and to prevent invasion by pathogens,
plant metabolism must be flexible and dynamic. Active oxygen species, whose formation is …

▪ Abstract Plant responses to salinity stress are reviewed with emphasis on molecular
mechanisms of signal transduction and on the physiological consequences of altered gene …

Plants exposed to salt stress undergo changes in their environment. The ability of plants to
tolerate salt is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate retention and/or …

Humans are unable to synthesise l‐ascorbic acid (L‐AA, ascorbate, vitamin C), and are thus
entirely dependent upon dietary sources to meet needs. In both plant and animal …

The productivity of plants is greatly affected by various environmental stresses. Soil salinity
affects plant growth and development by way of osmotic stress, injurious effects of toxic Na+ …

▪ Abstract Plants vary considerably in their physiological response to selenium (Se). Some
plant species growing on seleniferous soils are Se tolerant and accumulate very high …

Even under optimal conditions, many metabolic processes, including the chloroplastic,
mitochondrial, and plasma membrane‐linked electron transport systems of higher plants …

Free radicals and other active derivatives of oxygen are inevitable by‐products of biological
redox reactions. Reduced oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide, the superoxide …

Using two cultivars of Pisum sativum L. with different sensitivity to NaCl, the effect of long‐
term (15 d) NaCl (70 mm) treatments on the activity and expression of the foliar ascorbate …
