Abstract excerpt
Extreme low temperatures cause plants multiple stresses, among which oxidative stress is presumed to be the major component affecting the resultant recovery rate. Plants of Hypericum perforatum L., which are known especially for the photodynamic activities of hypericins capable of producing reactive oxygen species under exposure to visible light, were observed to display a substantial increase and persistence in...
