Popis: Maize (Zea mays L) is an important cereal with extensive adaptability and multifaceted usages. However, various abiotic and biotic stresses limit the productivity of maize across the globe. Exposure of plant to stresses disturb the balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and scavenging, which subsequently increases cellular damage and death of plants. Tolerant genotypes have evolved higher output of scavenging antioxidative defence compounds (ADCs) during stresses as one of the protective mechanisms. The glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are the broad class of ADCs family. The plant GPXs catalyse the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H
