Various abiotic stress factors significantly contribute to major worldwide-losses in crop productivity by mainly impacting plant's stress tolerance/adaptive capacity. The latter is largely governed by the efficiency of antioxidant defense system for the metabolism of elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), caused by different abiotic stresses. Plant antioxidant defense system includes both enzymatic (such as superoxide dismutase,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
