News on the redox front—A follow-up of ABR volume 52: Oxidative stress and redox regulation in plants

Abstract

Volume 52 of Advances in Botanical Research “Oxidative stress and redox regulation in plants” edited by Jean-Pierre Jacquot (series Editors Michel Delseny, Jean-Claude Kader) was published in 2009, so now more than 12 years ago. It featured 15 different chapters and more than 60 authors contributed. Volume 52 has covered many aspects of plant physiology including the generation of oxidative stress, the molecular responses to oxidative stress and redox regulation. In general such a volume is initiated about 2 years before final publication and so it has been now 15 years overall. We believe thus that it is now appropriate for the anniversary volume 100 of ABR to summarize what was described in that volume but also to provide a survey of more recent literature showing how the plant redox field has evolved and expanded since.
