Metabolic quiescence
A dormant state in which organisms drastically reduce metabolic activity and energy consumption to survive prolonged abiotic stress. This reversible condition allows survival during unfavorable environmental periods with minimal resource depletion.
oxidative burst
A rapid, transient increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production within plant cells triggered by stress perceptio...
Oxidative Burst Kinetics
The temporal dynamics of rapid reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and dissipation during plant responses to biotic...
