Fungi produce intracellular and extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) via different mechanisms. Diverse fungal metabolites (elicitors, toxins, antioxidants) modify ROS production by plants. Fungal antioxidants control signaling and destructive effects of plant and their own ROS. Disruption of pro-/antioxidant balance in host-pathogen system may disturb fungal development and hinder its virulence.
