Catalase is a sink for H2O2 and is indispensable for stress defence in C3 plants.

TL;DR: Leaf necrosis correlated with accumulation of oxidized glutathione and a 4‐fold decrease in ascorbate, indicating that catalase is critical for maintaining the redox balance during oxidative stress and may not be limited to peroxisomal H2O2 production.
Journal ArticleDOI

"Clicking" Polymers or Just Efficient Linking: What Is the Difference?**

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of click criteria are evaluated specifically for the synthetic polymer field, and the original click criteria were evaluated in an Essay specifically for synthetic polymer fields and the set of criteria are specified that distinguish click from other efficient reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defense activation and enhanced pathogen tolerance induced by H2O2 in transgenic tobacco

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sublethal levels of H2O2 activate expression of acidic and basic PR proteins and lead to enhanced pathogen tolerance, however, rapid and strong activation of PR protein expression, as seen during the hypersensitive response, occurs only when excess H 2O2 is accompanied by leaf necrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transgenic tobacco plants with reduced capability to detoxify reactive oxygen intermediates are hyperresponsive to pathogen infection.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that suppression of ROI-scavenging enzymes during the hypersensitive response plays an important role in enhancing pathogen-induced PCD is supported.
