Drought stress led to a decrease in PSII photochemical activity in tobacco leaves and the blockage of electron transfer, especially from Q A to Q B on PSII acceptor side. In addition, drought stress caused a dramatic increase in H₂O₂ and MDA contents. However, the overexpression of 2-Cys Prx significantly reduced the H₂O₂ accumulation in tobacco seedlings and alleviated the degree of oxidative damage under drought stress. It also improved stomatal limitation and net photosynthetic rate of tobacco seedlings and reduced its PSII photoinhibition under drought stress which promoted the ability of PSII electron transfer.
