Abstract
⺠Catalases are one of several types of H2O2-metabolizing enzymes in plants. ⺠This review discusses their known or potential roles in redox homeostasis. ⺠An overview of catalase genes and expression is presented. ⺠Possible mechanisms of catalase import into peroxisomes are discussed. ⺠The application of catalase-deficient plants as models to study stress is analyzed.
