Mechanisms of Salt Tolerance in Rice Plants: Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenging-Systems

Author:Ching Huei Kao

Abstract:

    In rice plants, oxidative stress is a major determinant involved in salt-induced damage. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during salt stress depends on the balance between the production and the scavenging of ROS. The present review summarizes the major research advance in elucidating the role of ROS-scavenging systems in salt tolerance of rice plants. Evidence shows that the increased tolerance to salt stress in rice plants is linked to an increased ROS-scavenging systems.
