Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in plant cells primarily as by-products of aerobic energy metabolism. They are also generated during plant adaptation responses to environmental stresses, such as drought and high salinity. Therefore, plants have evolved ROS-detoxifying enzymes and antioxidants to cope with ROS accumulation. However, if stress conditions are prolonged, the level of ROS will surpass the...
