Preface
Generation and Scavenging of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in Plant Cells: an Overview Plant cells are provided with wide-ranging enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems which are generally found adjacent to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production sites, with exceptional ability to elude the detrimental potential negative effects of ROS (i.e., oxidative stress), but also to restrain their signaling role under diverse circumstances (Corpas et al. 2015). Thus plants have developed several mechanisms whereby the endogenous content of antioxidant enzymes provides protection against the harmful effects of oxidative stress generated by abiotic/biotic sources (Gupta et al. 2016). The main ROS are sup
