Antioxidant and Signaling Role of Plastid-Derived Isoprenoid Quinones and Chromanols

Antioxidant and Signaling Role of Plastid-Derived Isoprenoid Quinones and Chromanols

Plant prenyllipids, especially isoprenoid chromanols and quinols, are very efficient low-molecular-weight lipophilic antioxidants, protecting membranes and storage lipids from reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are byproducts of aerobic metabolism that can damage cell components, they are also known...
