Reactive oxygen gene network of plants

…, S Vanderauwera, M Gollery, F Van Breusegem - Trends in plant …, 2004 - cell.com
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) control many different processes in plants. However, being
toxic molecules, they are also capable of injuring cells. How this conflict is resolved in plants …

Reactive oxygen species signalling in plant stress responses

…, SI Zandalinas, Y Fichman, F Van Breusegem - … reviews Molecular cell …, 2022 - nature.com
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key signalling molecules that enable cells to rapidly
respond to different stimuli. In plants, ROS play a crucial role in abiotic and biotic stress sensing, …

Dual action of the active oxygen species during plant stress responses

…, M Van Montagu, D Inzé*, F Van Breusegem - Cellular and Molecular …, 2000 - Springer
Adaptation to environmental changes is crucial for plant growth and survival. However, the
molecular and biochemical mechanisms of adaptation are still poorly understood and the …

Reactive oxygen species in plant cell death

F Van Breusegem, JF Dat - Plant physiology, 2006 - academic.oup.com
Paradoxically, death is an integral part of life. Cell death is essential for growth and
development of eukaryotes, by maintaining tissue and organ homeostasis in concert with cell …

The role of active oxygen species in plant signal transduction

F Van Breusegem, E Vranová, JF Dat, D Inzé - Plant science, 2001 - Elsevier
Adequate responses to environmental changes are crucial for plant growth and survival.
However, the molecular and biochemical mechanisms that orchestrate these responses are still …

Catalase function in plants: a focus on Arabidopsis mutants as stress-mimic models

…, S Vanderauwera, F Van Breusegem… - Journal of …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is an important signal molecule involved in plant development
and environmental responses. Changes in H 2 O 2 availability can result from increased …

How relevant are flavonoids as antioxidants in plants?

I Hernández, L Alegre, F Van Breusegem… - Trends in plant …, 2009 - cell.com
Flavonoids are a large family of plant secondary metabolites, principally recognized for their
health-promoting properties in human diets. Most flavonoids outperform well-known …

ROS signaling: the new wave?

…, M Gollery, V Shulaev, F Van Breusegem - Trends in plant …, 2011 - cell.com
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a multitude of signaling roles in different organisms from
bacteria to mammalian cells. They were initially thought to be toxic byproducts of aerobic …

Signal transduction during oxidative stress

…, D Inzé, F Van Breusegem - Journal of experimental …, 2002 - academic.oup.com
As an unfortunate consequence of aerobic life, active oxygen species (AOS) are formed by
partial reduction of molecular oxygen. Plants possess a complex battery of enzymatic and non…

Reactive oxygen species as signals that modulate plant stress responses and programmed cell death

TS Gechev, F Van Breusegem, JM Stone, I Denev… - …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known as toxic metabolic products in plants and other
aerobic organisms. An elaborate and highly redundant plant ROS network, composed of …
