It is not all about sodium: revealing tissue specificity and signalling roles of potassium in plant responses to salt stress (2018, background): “In recent years, the concept of a dual role of ROS in plant biology has been developed and accepted (Miller et al. 2010; Petrov et al. 2015; Mittler 2017).”
A Review on Plant Responses to Salt Stress and Their Mechanisms of Salt Resistance (2021, background): “Free radicals usually include superoxide radical (O2), hydroxyl radical (OH•), and alkoxyl radical (RO•), while non-radicals usually include hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and singlet oxygen ((1)O2) [70].”
Reactive Oxygen Species and Antioxidant Defense in Plants under Abiotic Stress: Revisiting the Crucial Role of a Universal Defense Regulator (2020, background): “Several studies showed that ROS are essential for the success of numerous fundamental natural processes, including cellular proliferation and differentiation [11].”
Variables Governing Photosynthesis and Growth in Microalgae Mass Cultures (2021, background): “ROS were shown to play an important role in signal transduction [92,93]; a basal level of ROS is vital for the functions of living cells [94].”
Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Metabolism under Adverse Environmental Conditions: a Review (2020, background): “In the end, when the damage caused by ROS is high, the following consequence can be the programmed cell death (Mittler, 2017).”
