Accumulation of lipid peroxide-derived aldehydes and ketones is a ubiquitous event in
oxidative stress. The toxicity of these carbonyls, especially the α,β-unsaturated carbonyls (…

P1-ζ-crystallin (P1-ZCr) is an oxidative stress-induced NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase in
Arabidopsis thaliana, but its physiological electron acceptors have not been identified. We …

As reactive oxygen species (ROS) play critical roles in plants to determine cell fate in various
physiological situations, there is keen interest in the biochemical processes of ROS signal …

It is well known that environmental stress conditions enhance the production of reactive
oxygen species (ROS), which have dual roles with damaging effects to biomolecules and with …

Methylviologen (MV) induces oxidative damages in leaves. In order to understand its
mechanism we studied initial biochemical events under light in MV-fed spinach leaves. When …

Almost all terrestrial plants produce green leaf volatiles (GLVs), consisting of six-carbon (C6)
aldehydes, alcohols and their esters, after mechanical wounding. C6 aldehydes deter …

Degradation of lipid peroxides leads to the formation of cytotoxic 2-alkenals and oxenes (collectively
designated reactive carbonyls). The novel NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase 2-…

Oxidative injury of the root elongation zone is a primary event in aluminum (Al) toxicity in
plants, but the injuring species remain unidentified. We verified the hypothesis that lipid …

Monodehydroascorbate (MDA) reductase catalyzes the reduction of MDA, the only organic
radical substrate for the enzyme reported so far. Here, we show that cucumber MDA …

Lipid peroxide-derived toxic carbonyl compounds (oxylipin carbonyls), produced downstream
of reactive oxygen species ( ROS ), were recently revealed to mediate abiotic stress-…
