The secreted redox sensor roGFP2‐Orp1 reveals oxidative dynamics in the plant apoplast

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 359-373, March 2026.
Using the secreted redox biosensor roGFP2‐Orp1, we reveal differences in extracellular (apoplastic) oxidative processes between and within species, depending on cell type and immune signalling. Abstract Specific generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is important for signalling and defence in many organisms. In plants, different types of ROS serve
