Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an important part of adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses and regulate seed germination through positive or negative signaling. Seed adaptation to abiotic stress may be mediated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The effects of the ROS scavenger N,N'-dimethylthiourea (DMTU) on maize seed germination through endogenous H2O2 regulation is unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of different doses of DMTU on seed endogenous H2O2 and radicle development parameters using two maize varieties (ZD958 and DMY1). The inhibitory effect of DMTU on the germination rate and radicle growth was dose-dependent. The inhibitory effect of DMTU on radicle growth ceased after transferring maize seeds from DMTU to a water medium. Histochemical analyses showed that DMTU eliminated stable H2O2 accumulation in the radicle sheaths and radicles. The activity of antioxidant enzyme and the expression of antioxidant enzyme-related genes (ZmAPX2 and ZmCAT2) were reduced in maize seeds cultured with DMTU compared with normal culture conditions (0 mmol·dm-3 DMTU). We suggest the use of 200 mmol·dm-3 DMTU as an H2O2 scavenger to study the ROS equilibrium mechanisms during the germination of maize seeds, assisting in the future with the efficient development of plant growth regulators to enhance the seed germination performance of test maize varieties under abiotic stress.

Abstract
Thione-containing nucleobases have attracted the attention of the scientific community for their application in oncology, virology, and transplantology. The detailed understanding of the reactivity of the purine derivative 8-thioguanosine (8-TG) with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals is crucial for its biological relevance. An extensive investigation on the fate of 8-TG under both reductive and oxidative conditions is here reported, and it was tested by employing steady-state photooxidation, laser flash photolysis, as well as γ-radiolysis in aqueous solutions. The characterization of the 8-TG T1 excited state by laser flash photolysis and the photooxidation experiments confirmed that singlet oxygen is a crucial intermediate in the formation of the unexpected reduced product guanosine, without the formation of the usual oxygenated sulfinic or sulfonic acids. Furthermore, a thorough screening of different radiolytic conditions upon γ-radiation afforded the reduced product. These results were rationalized by performing control experiments in the predominant presence of each reactive species formed by radiolysis of water, and the mechanistic pathway scenario was postulated on these bases.

Abstract
A theoretical investigation on the reactions of 1, 3, 5-trihydroxybenzene (PG) and 2, 4, 6-trihydroxyacetophenone (ACPG) with •OOH has been performed with the aim of elucidating the peroxyl radical scavenging properties of PG and its acylated derivative. The study has considered the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), the single electron transfer-proton transfer and the sequential proton loss-electron transfer mechanisms and determined the geometric, energetic and electronic properties of the reaction species as well as the kinetic parameters for the HAT mechanism. DFT/M06-2X, DFT/MPW1K and DFT/BHHLYP calculation methods have been utilized in combination with the 6-311++G(3df, 2p) basis set. The DFT methods were benchmarked using the CBS-QB3 method. Thermodynamic parameters such as bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) and ionization energy suggest that the thermodynamically preferred mechanism is the HAT mechanism. The geometric, electronic and energetic parameters suggest that the preferred site for the abstraction of the free phenolic H atom in ACPG is the ortho position. Spin density and branching ratio values indicate that the most stable and preferable product formed is for the reaction of ACPG [Formula: see text] •OOH at the ortho position. The estimated rate constants obtained indicate that the reaction of ACPG [Formula: see text] •OOH is kinetically preferred to the reaction of PG [Formula: see text] •OOH, which is in agreement with experimental findings.

Abstract
A theoretical study on the reaction of phloroglucinol with •OH has been performed with the aim of elucidating the geometric, energetic and kinetic properties of the reaction as well as identifying the preferred reaction pathway. Three reaction mechanisms have been considered, namely, direct hydrogen atom abstraction, addition–elimination mechanism in the absence and in the presence of a base catalyst and oxidation mechanism in the absence and in the presence of O2. The study has been performed using the DFT/M06[Formula: see text]2X, DFT/BHHLYP and DFT/MPW1K methods in conjunction with either the 6-31++G(d,p) or the 6-311++G(3df,2p) basis set. The energetic parameters are influenced by the type of function utilized and the media in which the calculation is done. The direct hydrogen abstraction mechanism provides the smallest branching ratio with respect to the •OH addition mechanisms. The PG + •OH reaction under atmospheric conditions saturated with O2 would predominantly form tetrahydroxybenzene; the predominant product within the biological system would largely depend on physiological conditions; under pH [Formula: see text] 7 and with oxygen dissolved within the biological system, the preferred product would be tetrahydroxybenzene; however, if the reaction takes place in some part of the biological system where the pH [Formula: see text] 7, the preferred product would be the phenoxyl radical.
