Production of Antioxidant Molecules in <i>Polygonum aviculare</i> (L.) and <i>Senecio vulgaris</i> (L.) under Metal Stress: A Possible Tool in the Evaluation of Plant Metal Tolerance

Production of Antioxidant Molecules in <i>Polygonum aviculare</i> (L.) and <i>Senecio vulgaris</i> (L.) under Metal Stress: A Possible Tool in the Evaluation of Plant Metal Tolerance

Plants growing on heavy metal (HM)-polluted soils show toxicity symptoms, such as chlorosis and growth reduction, and undergo oxidative stress due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Plants overcome oxidative stress by producing a wide range of antioxidant molecules, such as polypheno...
