Under abiotic stress conditions, rapid increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels occurs within plant cells. Although their role as a major signalling agent in plants is now acknowledged, elevated ROS levels can result in an impairment of membrane integrity. Similar to our previous findings o...
