Hypothesis: increase of the ratio singlet oxygen plus superoxide radical to hydrogen peroxide changes stress defence response to programmed leaf death
The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increases under different stresses and, by destroying cellular components, may cause cell death. In addition, ROS are part of the complex network of transduction signals that induce defence reactions against stress or, alternatively, trigger programed cell...
