IRR1 plays a role in adventitious root formation from Arabidopsis leaf explants, which is associated with reactive oxygen species homeostasis.

A cautionary note on the use of N-acetylcysteine as a reactive oxygen species antagonist to assess copper mediated cell death

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduces intracellular copper uptake, rather than its antioxidant activity, which may be responsible for the diminished cell death in copper-induced cell death studies.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) protects cells from cytotoxic agents by directly interacting with cytotoxic electrophiles, potentially forming non-cytotoxic NAC-electrophilic adducts.

Elevated Levels of Three Reactive Oxygen Species and Fe(II) in the Antibiotic-Surviving Population of Mycobacteria Facilitate De Novo Emergence of Genetic Resisters to Antibiotics

Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species and iron (Fe) in antibiotic-surviving mycobacteria facilitate the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, with potential implications for antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis treatment.

Mycobacterium smegmatis strains genetically resistant to moxifloxacin emerge de novo from the moxifloxacin-surviving population containing high levels of superoxide, H2O2, hydroxyl radical, and Fe (II)

High levels of superoxide, H2O2, hydroxyl radical, and Fe (II) in M. smegmatis cultures exposed to moxifloxacin for prolonged duration can lead to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains.
