Reactive Oxygen Species: Beneficial Companions of Plant Developmental Processes

The document discussed the dual role of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in plant developmental processes, emphasizing their function as both damaging agents and essential signaling molecules. ROS were shown to regulate key physiological processes such as seed germination, root development, and programmed cell death. The balance between ROS production and scavenging was crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to environmental stresses. The findings highlighted the importance of understanding ROS dynamics to improve plant resilience and productivity.
