Active oxygen species (AOS) have been proposed as a central component of plant adaptation to both biotic and abiotic stresses. Under such conditions, AOS may play two very different roles: exacerbating damage or signaling the activation of defense responses.

The dual roles of active oxygen species require tight control of their cellular levels.
During plant stress responses, active oxygen species can either exacerbate damage or signal activation of defense responses.
Active oxygen species are proposed as a central component of plant adaptation to both biotic and abiotic stresses.
Multiple active oxygen species sources together with complex oxidant scavenger systems provide the flexibility needed for active oxygen species to function in both damage and signaling during plant stress responses.
