“…Our results confirm the view that ROS-removing systems are considering ROS as beneficial molecules that regulate damaging ROS below dangerous levels (Noctor et al, 2018). So, one can easily conclude, that ROS seem to play a pivotal role in plant response against BPA toxicity (Zhang et al, 2018), as we observed in BPA-affected leaves of A. thaliana. While the concept that animal and plant cells need to remove ROS production to avoid extreme and permanent oxidation was the dominant view in the literature, the opinion is now shifting towards recognition of a positive role of ROS as well (Noctor and Foyer, 2016;Foyer et al, 2017).…”

“…In an earlier study, BPA residual concentrations had a negative correlation with H 2 O 2 levels, i.e., an increase in H 2 O 2 seemed to reduce BPA levels inside the plant tissue (Zhang et al, 2018). These results allowed to speculate that BPA could either be a direct target of ROS, and therefore subjected to oxidation (Reis et al, 2014) or ROS molecules could activate a cascade of secondary metabolic reactions degrading BPA (Noureddin et al, 2004) and finally the ROS-activated antioxidant enzymes could destroy BPA (Kang and Kondo, 2006).…”

“…Although plants can absorb and metabolize BPA, at the same time BPA could deteriorate their cellular/physiological status ( Zhang et al., 2017 ). It has been shown that experimentally applied concentrations of BPA (mg/L) negatively affected the growth of many important crops, e.g., soybean ( Qui et al., 2013 ; Zhang et al., 2016 ; Jiao et al., 2017 ; Li X. et al., 2018 ; Zhang et al., 2018 ; Xiao et al., 2019 ), pea ( Adamakis et al., 2013 ), wheat ( Adamakis et al., 2019 ), maize ( Stavropoulou et al., 2018 ), rice ( Ali et al., 2016 ), cucumber ( Li Y. T. et al., 2018 ) and onion ( Adamakis et al., 2019 ); also of non-cultivated plants such as the Cephalonian fir ( Adamakis et al., 2016 ) and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana ( Pan et al., 2013 ; Tian et al., 2014 ; Frejd et al., 2016 ; Ali et al., 2017 ; Rapala et al., 2017 ; Bahmani et al., 2020 ). Growth reduction effects have interestingly been found to occur also after environmentally relevant concentrations (μg/L) applied on cultivated crops, e.g., cabbage and tomato ( Staples et al., 2010 ), native plants such as oat ( Staples et al., 2010 ) and seagrasses ( Adamakis et al., 2018 ; Malea et al., 2020 ).…”

“…BPA-derived growth defects have been linked to either cytoskeletal derangement ( Adamakis et al., 2013 ; Adamakis et al., 2016 ; Adamakis et al., 2018 ; Stavropoulou et al., 2018 ; Adamakis et al., 2019 ), hormonal imbalance ( Frejd et al., 2016 ; Li X. et al., 2018 ; Bahmani et al., 2020 ), deterioration of the photosynthetic machinery ( Jiao et al., 2017 ; Kim et al., 2018 ; Li Y. T. et al., 2018 ) or ROS production ( Wang et al., 2015 ; Ali et al., 2016 ; Zhang et al., 2018 ; Xiao et al., 2019 ). It could therefore be concluded that BPA effects in plants are pleiotropic ( Xiao et al., 2020 ).…”

Bisphenol A (BPA), an intermediate chemical used for synthesizing polycarbonate plastics, has now become a wide spread organic pollutant. It percolates from a variety of sources, and plants are among the first organisms to encounter, absorb, and metabolize it, while its toxic effects are not yet fully known. Therefore, we experimentally studied the effects of aqueous BPA solutions (50 and 100 mg L −1 , for 6, 12, and 24 h) on photosystem II (PSII) functionality and evaluated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on detached leaves of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Chlorophyll fluorescence imaging analysis revealed a spatiotemporal heterogeneity in the quantum yields of light energy partitioning at PSII in Arabidopsis leaves exposed to BPA. Under low light PSII function was negatively influenced only at the spot-affected BPA zone in a dose-and timedependent manner, while at the whole leaf only the maximum photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) was negatively affected. However, under high light all PSII photosynthetic parameters measured were negatively affected by BPA application, in a timedependent manner. The affected leaf areas by the spot-like mode of BPA action showed reduced chlorophyll autofluorescence and increased accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). When H 2 O 2 was scavenged via N-acetylcysteine under BPA exposure, PSII functionality was suspended, while H 2 O 2 scavenging under non-stress had more detrimental effects on PSII function than BPA alone. It can be concluded that the necrotic death-like spots under BPA exposure could be due to ROS accumulation, but also H 2 O 2 generation seems to play a role in the leaf response against BPA-related stress conditions.

This study presents the main changes that occur in the metabolism of corn plants submitted to water deficiency, which can directly affect the development and production of the plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biochemical and physiological metabolism responses in maize plants submitted to water deficiency. The experimental design was a randomized block in factorial scheme (3 × 3), being three irrigation depths and three evaluation periods with four replications. The treatments simulated two levels of water deficiency and one control: T1 (control treatment) 10-20 kPa; T2 (moderate water deficiency) 50-60 kPa, and T3 (severe water deficiency) 70-80 kPa. The evaluation periods were E1-45 days after emergence (DAE); E2-52 DAE; and E3-59 DAE. The variables analyzed were relative water content; electrolyte leakage; total soluble proteins; nitrate reductase activity; and activity of the antioxidative response system, namely superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase. The results showed that stress caused a decrease in the relative water content, reflecting changes in membrane permeability and possible induction of electrolyte losses and an increase in the activities of the enzymes of the antioxidative response system. Thus, corn plants submitted to water deficiency presented interactive responses as a strategy to mitigate the impact of stress.

Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a harmful mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, which results in oxidative stress leading to cell death in plants. FB1 perturbs the metabolism of sphingolipids and causes growth and yield reduction. This study was conducted to assess the role of ethylene in the production and metabolism of reactive oxygen species in the leaves of wild type (WT) and ethylene receptor mutant Never ripe (Nr) tomato and to elucidate the FB1-induced phytotoxic effects on the photosynthetic activity and antioxidant mechanisms triggered by FB1 stress. FB1 exposure resulted in significant ethylene emission in a concentration-dependent manner in both genotypes. Moreover, FB1 significantly affected the photosynthetic parameters of PSII and PSI and activated photoprotective mechanisms, such as non-photochemical quenching in both genotypes, especially under 10 µM FB1 concentration. Further, the net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were significantly reduced in both genotypes in a FB1 dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, lipid peroxidation and loss of cell viability were also more pronounced in WT as compared to Nr leaves indicating the role of ethylene in cell death induction in the leaves. Thus, FB1-induced oxidative stress affected the working efficiency of PSI and PSII in both tomato genotypes. However, ethylene-dependent antioxidant enzymatic defense mechanisms were activated by FB1 and showed significantly elevated levels of superoxide dismutase (18.6%), ascorbate peroxidase (129.1%), and glutathione S-transferase activities (66.62%) in Nr mutants as compared to WT tomato plants confirming the role of ethylene in the regulation of cell death and defense mechanisms under the mycotoxin exposure.
