ROS
Reactive Oxygen Species
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules formed as natural byproducts of cellular metabolism in plants. These molecules include superoxide radicals (O2•−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radicals (•OH), and singlet oxygen (^1O2).
While ROS play crucial roles in various physiological processes, including growth, development, and defense responses, excessive accumulation of ROS can lead to cellular damage, known as oxidative stress.

BIOSTIMULANTS FROM NATURE
Biostimulants can improve crop productivity in a sustainable way and offer a plausible alternative to the heavily criticized synthetic agrochemicals. To achieve their full potential a science-based understanding of their beneficial effects and avenues for fine-tuning of their bioactivities are of utmost importance.
Frank Van Breusegem's group joins this effort with a set of proprietary Arabidopsis lines crucial for a mode of action discovery and know-how and expertise in chemical biology and stress signaling.
