Life at the boundary: photosynthesis at the soil-fluid interface. A synthesis focusing on mosses.

abstract：:Plants generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) as part of their metabolism and in response to various external stress factors, potentially causing significant damage to biomolecules and cell structures. During the course of evolution, plants have adapted to ROS toxicity, and use ROS as signalling messengers that activa...
