Maleic acid assisted improvement of metal chelation and antioxidant metabolism confers chromium tolerance in Brassica juncea L.

TLDR
Two potential uses of maleic acid (MA) are suggested: first, enhancing phytoremediation, principally phytostabilization and second, working as an exogenous protectant to enhance Cr tolerance.

Regulation of Ascorbate-Glutathione Pathway in Mitigating Oxidative Damage in Plants under Abiotic Stress

TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent progress of the research on AsA-GSH pathway in terms of oxidative stress tolerance in plants and focuses on the defense mechanisms as well as molecular interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of ROS Metabolism in Plants under Environmental Stress: A Review of Recent Experimental Evidence.

TL;DR: The physicochemical basis of ROS production, cellular compartment-specific ROS generation pathways, and their possible distressing effects are discussed and the function of the antioxidant defense system for detoxification and homeostasis of ROS for maximizing defense is discussed.

Chromium-Induced Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation by Altering the Enzymatic Antioxidant System and Associated Cytotoxic, Genotoxic, Ultrastructural, and Photosynthetic Changes in Plants.

TL;DR: It is concluded that Cr- induced ROS and the suppression of the enzymatic antioxidant system actually mediate Cr-induced cytotoxic, genot toxic, ultrastructural, and photosynthetic changes in plants.
