Abstract excerpt
Plants have a range of mechanisms to protect against oxidative damage induced by excess light and environmental stress. One of these processes consists of the detoxification of reactive oxygen species by the ascorbate peroxidase (APX) family of enzymes, which convert H2O2 into H2O. Two of the genes encoding APX in Arabidopsis are induced by high light, namely APX1 and APX2. We have applied a genetic approach to...
