The present chapter begins by presenting the basic introduction to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), then detailng the current knowledge in ROS research. In particular, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) technique applicability in photosynthesis research was considered. Kinetics of superoxide formation by illuminated thylakoids was shown. The progress of the knowledge on the different sites of photosynthetic membranes involved in ROS formation was reported and the main defense mechanisms occurring in the chloroplast to detoxify from ROS were decribed.

Abstract
The present chapter begins by presenting the basic introduction to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), then detailng the current knowledge in ROS research. In particular, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) technique applicability in photosynthesis research was considered. Kinetics of superoxide formation by illuminated thylakoids was shown. The progress of the knowledge on the different sites of photosynthetic membranes involved in ROS formation was reported and the main defense mechanisms occurring in the chloroplast to detoxify from ROS were decribed.File in questo prodotto:
