Specific Roles of α- and γ-Tocopherol in Abiotic Stress Responses of Transgenic Tobacco1[W][OA] (2007, background): “Vol. 143, 2007 and there is strong experimental evidence that ascorbate constitutes the interface of the lipophilic tocopherols to the hydrophilic antioxidant network represented by the ascorbate-glutathione cycle (as summarized in Munné-Bosch and Alegre, 2002; Foyer and Noctor, 2005).”

Antioxidants and Antioxidant Enzymes in Higher Plants (2018, background): “…of c-tocopherol, while in Durvillaea antarctica d-tocopherol is the predominant form (Oritz et al. 2006). a-tocopherol occurs in the majority of cyanobacteria, although there are species lacking it (e.g., Synechococcus elongatus sp. PCC 7942) (Munné-Bosch and Alegre 2002; Nowicka and Kruk 2016).”
A unified mechanism of action for volatile isoprenoids in plant abiotic stress. (2009, background): “It is well known that nonvolatile isoprenoids such as tocopherols, zeaxanthin and carnosic acid can scavenge ROS directly by reactions through hydroxyl radical”
High nighttime temperatures affect rice productivity through altered pollen germination and spikelet fertility (2009, background): “The a-tocopherol is one of the most effective single-oxygen quenchers and is a strong antioxidant (Munné-Bosch and Alegre, 2002), whereas GB enhances tolerance to high temperatures by protecting certain enzymes (e.”
Exogenous salicylic acid alleviates effects of long term drought stress and delays leaf rolling by inducing antioxidant system (2010, background): “Tocopherol is an efficient quencher and scavenger of singlet oxygen and, in combination with ascorbate (which is needed for a-tocopherol recycling) thus reducing the extent of lipid peroxidation in photosynthetic membranes (Munné-Bosch and Alegre 2002).”
