Reactive oxygen species, abiotic stress and stress combination (open access)

Reactive oxygen species, abiotic stress and stress combination

This article reviews recent studies on the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in abiotic stress in plants, and propose that different abiotic stresses, such as drought, heat, salinity and high light, result in different ROS signatures that determine the specificity of the acclimation response and help tailor it to the exact stress the plant encounters.
