Abstract

1-Cysteine Peroxiredoxin (1Cys Prx) is a thiol dependent antioxidative enzyme of molecular weight 20-30 kDa. It contains one catalytic cysteine residue and is found in cytosol. Prx plays an important role in growth, development and dessication tolerance in dormant seeds. It detoxifies H2O2 and various other organic peroxides. It protects lipids, enzymes and DNA against reactive oxygen species. This review highlights our current understanding of 1Cys Prx with focus on its expression in seeds and transgenic plants.
