As ROS have the potential to cause oxidative damage by reacting with biomolecules, research on ROS has concentrated on the oxidative damage that results from exposure to environmental stresses and on the role of ROS in defence against pathogens. However, more recently, it has become apparent that ROS also have important roles as signalling molecules. A complex network of enzymatic and small molecule antioxidants controls the concentration of ROS and repairs oxidative damage, and research is revealing tBiological Sciences SeriesAntioxidantsPhysiological effectActive oxygenPhysiological effectPlantsMetabolismAntioxidantsPhysiological effect.Active oxygenPhysiological effect.PlantsMetabolism.572/.42Smirnoff N990662MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910876586003321Antioxidants and reactive oxygen species in plants2266776UNINA
