Reactive oxygen species are both threats and essential messengers in plant cells. This article explains how oxidative stress arises, how antioxidant systems control ROS levels, and how redox signaling guides plant responses to drought, heat, pathogens, and climate challenges, ultimately shaping stress resilience.

Plants live in a world of constant environmental uncertainty. Plants face various challenges such as the sweltering heat of a summer drought and the chilling grip of frost. Salinity creeping through irrigation water also poses a threat. Additionally, pathogens and pests continue to put plants under siege. To navigate these challenges, they rely on a…
