Journal ArticleDOI
Plant sugars are crucial players in the oxidative challenge during abiotic stress: extending the traditional concept.
TL;DR: This review aims at extending the current concept of antioxidants functioning during abiotic stress, with special focus on the emanate role of sugars as true ROS scavengers, as different organelles seem to exploit distinct mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sugar signalling and antioxidant network connections in plant cells.
TL;DR: It can be hypothesized that the synergistic interaction of sugars (or sugar‐like compounds) and phenolic compounds forms part of an integrated redox system, quenching ROS and contributing to stress tolerance, especially in tissues or organelles with high soluble sugar concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant fructans in stress environments: emerging concepts and future prospects
Ravi Valluru,Wim Van den Ende +1 more
TL;DR: In vivo studies with transgenic plants expressing FTs showed fructan accumulation and an associated improvement in freezing and/or chilling tolerance, suggesting the water-soluble nature of fructans may allow their rapid adaptation as cryoprotectants in order to give optimal membrane protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sucrose, sucrosyl oligosaccharides, and oxidative stress: scavenging and salvaging?
Wim Van den Ende,Ravi Valluru +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the vacuolar compartment of a plant cell during oxidative stress has been investigated and the relationship between SOS and peroxidase and NADPH oxidases has been discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myo-inositol and beyond--emerging networks under stress.
Ravi Valluru,Wim Van den Ende +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on myo-inositol, its direct and more downstream derivatives (galactinol, raffinose), and the contribution of their associated networks to plant stress tolerance.
