Redox reactions govern almost all cellular biochemical processes and orchestrate complex events, which in turn, coordinate the maintenance of life. Though redox biology has grown immensely as a field in past decades, a holistic picture of how redox processes control plant physiology is only now emerging. Plants synthesize many proteins and redox-active metabolites to maintain redox homeostasis. A complex chemo-enzymatic redox network in plant cells (through ROS, ions, redox-active proteins/enzymes, and antioxidants) govern multiple plant cellular biochemical processes, and consequently, redox reactions are involved in almost all aspects of plant metabolism and physiology, and thus, redox research advances the overall understanding of how plants function.
This Research Topic seeks to highlight how reactive oxygen species, antioxidants, redox reactions, and redox homeostasis dictate metabolism and metabolic outcomes, for instance in the stress response, secondary metabolite production, seed germination, photosynthesis, and growth. It also aims to address how ROS and antioxidants affect the production of biofuels, and thus the topic has important industrial applications .
Elements of the redoxome - enzymes, ions, and free radicals – form a complex chemo-enzymatic network that orchestrates transcriptomics and metabolomics. Dysregulation/imbalance in redox homeostasis significantly impacts physiological outcomes like growth, cellular longevity, seed germination, and plant secondary metabolite production, and thus understanding redox has important implications for plant health, agriculture, and industrial usage.
Submissions of all types are sought under the following, but are not limited to, themes:
• Control of plant omics by nitric oxide, ROS, and reactive sulfur species of plant omics;
• Redoxome and plant redox protein/enzyme networks that maintain redox homeostasis;
• Influence of ROS and redox reactions on plant secondary metabolite production (and how secondary metabolites, in turn, control redox homeostasis);
• Influence of ROS and antioxidants on biofuel production;
• Genes responsible for plant redox homeostasis;
• ROS and free radicals in the metabolic processes of seed germination;
• Hormetic responses in plants mediated by redox signals;
• New experimental methods for studying plant redox reactions.
