Abstract excerpt
Under stress conditions that bring about excessive absorption of light energy in the chloroplasts, the formation of singlet oxygen ( (1)O2) can be strongly enhanced, triggering programmed cell death. However, the (1)O2 signaling pathway can also lead to acclimation to photooxidative stress, when (1)O2 is produced in relatively low amounts. This acclimatory response is associated with a strong downregulation of...
