Abstract excerpt
Plant respiratory burst oxidase homologs (Rboh) are homologs of the human neutrophil pathogen-related gp91(phox). Antisense technology was employed to ascertain the biological function of Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato) Rboh. Lines with diminished Rboh activity showed a reduced level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the leaf, implying a role for Rboh in establishing the cellular redox milieu. Surprisingly,...
