Reactive oxygen species and transcript analysis upon excess light treatment in wild-type <it>Arabidopsis thaliana </it>vs a photosensitive mutant lacking zeaxanthin and lutein
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are unavoidable by-products of oxygenic photosynthesis, causing progressive oxidative damage and ultimately cell death. Despite their destructive activity they are also signalling molecules, priming the...
