physiological function | Arabidopsis thaliana SPS1-overexpressing lines are much more resistant to photooxidative stress than the wild-type, showing marked decreases in leaf bleaching, lipid peroxidation and PSII photoinhibition under excess light. Comparison of the SPS1 overexpressors with other prenyl quinone mutants indicates that the enhanced phototolerance of the former plants is directly related to their increased capacities for plastoquinone-9 biosynthesis, phenotype, overview | Arabidopsis thaliana |
