Global climate change and associated adverse abiotic stress conditions, such as drought, salinity, heavy metals, waterlogging, extreme temperatures, oxygen deprivation, etc., greatly influence plant growth development, ultimately affecting crop yield quality, well agricultural sustainability in general. Plant cells produce radicals their derivatives, so-called reactive species (ROS), during various processes with stress. Moreover, the generation of ROS is a fundamental process higher plants employs to transmit cellular signaling information response changing environmental conditions. One most crucial consequences disturbance equilibrium between antioxidant defense systems triggering excessive accumulation inducing oxidative plants. Notably, detoxification maintained by both enzymatic nonenzymatic under harsh stresses. Although this field research has attracted massive interest, it largely remains unexplored, our understanding poorly understood. In review, we have documented recent advancement illustrating harmful effects ROS, system involved different stresses, molecular cross-talk other important signal molecules nitrogen, sulfur, carbonyl species. addition, state-of-the-art approaches ROS-mediated improvement acclimation against stresses also been discussed.

Melatonin has been reported to alleviate chilling symptoms in postharvest peach fruit during cold storage, however, the mechanism involved is largely unknown. To better understand its role tolerance, here we investigated effects of melatonin on oxidative damage subjected after harvest. Chilling injury peaches was dramatically reduced by treatment. induced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content at early stage storage but inhibited accumulation thereafter. Meanwhile, also up-regulated expression genes antioxidant responses peaches. In addition, compared control fruit, treated with displayed higher transcript abundance ascorbic acid (AsA) biosynthetic and consequently increased AsA content. Our results suggested that response chilling, high H2O2 level initial time may work as a signaling molecule induce protective mechanisms via up-regulating antioxidative increasing On other hand, transient increase peaches, efficiently removed because activated systems, which associated tolerance melatonin.

Melatonin, a natural agent, has multiple functions in animals as well plants. However, its possible roles plants under abiotic stress are not clear. Nowadays, soil salinity is major threat to global agriculture because high salt content causes stresses (hyperosmotic, ionic, and oxidative). Therefore, the aim of present study was explore: (1) involvement melatonin biosynthesis photosynthetic pigments regulation enzymes, such carbonic anhydrase (CA) ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco); (2) role osmoregulation by proline carbohydrate metabolism; (3) function antioxidant defense system salinity. Outcomes reveal that non-saline conditions, application (20 50 µM) improved plant growth, viz. shoot length, root fresh weight (FW), FW, dry (DW), DW leaf area physio-biochemical parameters [chlorophyll (Chl) b, (Pro) total soluble carbohydrates (TSC) content, increased activity CA Rubisco]. tomato seedlings treated with NaCl exhibited enhanced Chl degradation, electrolyte leakage (EL), malondialdehyde (MDA) reactive oxygen species (ROS; superoxide hydrogen peroxide). ROS were detected root. Interestingly, growth reduced EL, MDA levels through upregulation photosynthesis enzymes (CA, Rubisco), (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase ascorbate reductase) non-enzymatic antioxidants [ascorbate (ASC) (GSH)], affecting ASC—GSH cycle. Additionally, exogenous also increasing TSC, Pro Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase activity. These results suggest beneficial effects on both non-stress conditions.
