Superoxide Dismutase in Plants
Abstract
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metal-containing enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide radicals to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme has been found in all aerobic organisms examined where it plays a major role in the defense against toxic-reduced oxygen species, which are generated as byproducts of many biological oxidations. The generation of oxygen radicals can be further exacerbated during environmental adversity and consequently SOD has been proposed to be important for plant stress tolerance. In plants, three forms of the enzyme exist, as classified by their active site metal ion: copper/zinc, manganese, and iron forms. The distribution of these enzymes has been studied both at the subcellular level and at the phylogenic level. It is only in plants that all three different types of SOD coexist. Their occurrence in the different subcellular compartments of plant cells allows a study of their molecular evolution and the possibility of understanding why three functionally equivalent but structurally different types of SOD have been maintained. Several cDNA sequences that encode the different SODs have recently become available, and the use of molecular techniques have greatly increased our knowledge about this enzyme system and about oxidative stress in plants in general, such that now is an appropriate time to review our current knowledge.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
