A Versatile Peroxidase from the Fungus <i>Bjerkandera adusta</i> Confers Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Transgenic Tobacco Plants

White-rot fungi are efficient lignin degraders due to the secretion of lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, laccase, and versatile peroxidase (VP) on decayed wood. The VP is a high-redox-potential enzyme and could be used to detoxify reactive oxygen species (ROS), which accumulate in plants duri...
