Plants exposed to various types of environmental stresses produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), within the system. ROS can bring about various types of cell injuries leading to cell death. Plants have different ant oxidation mechanisms (mediated by both enzymatic and non enzymatic antioxidants) operational in them to take care of the deleterious ROS.

Abstract


Plants exposed to various types of environmental stresses produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), within the system. ROS can bring about various types of cell injuries leading to cell death. Plants have different ant oxidation mechanisms (mediated by both enzymatic and non enzymatic antioxidants) operational in them to take care of the deleterious ROS.
