Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species play a critical role in mediating the oxidative damage that causes senescence in a variety of aerobic organisms, from yeast to mammals. Genetic studies of these organisms have revealed that extended longevity is frequently associated with an increased resistance to stress. However, the relationship between life span and oxidative stress tolerance in plants is poorly understood. We have...
