Salinity is an issue impairing crop production across the globe. Under salinity stress, besides osmotic stress and Na+ toxicity, ROS (reactive oxygen species) overaccumulation a secondary which further impairs plant performance. Chloroplasts, mitochondria, apoplast, peroxisomes are main generation sites in salt-stressed plants. In this review, we summarize generation, enzymatic non-enzymatic an...

Aptamers, single stranded DNA or RNA molecules, generated by a method called SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) have been widely used in various biomedical applications. The newly developed Cell-SELEX (cell based-SELEX) targeting whole living cells has raised great expectations for cancer biology, -therapy and regenerative medicine. Combining nanobiotechnology wit...
