Lipid peroxide‐derived reactive carbonyls (RCs) can cause serious damage to plant functions. A chloroplastic NADPH‐dependent alkenal/one oxidoreductase (AOR) detoxifies RCs, but its physiological significance remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the biological impacts of AOR using an AOR‐knock out Arabidopsis line ( aor ). Methyl viologen treatment, mainly to enhance photosystem (PS) I‐originated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, caused more severe damage to aor than wild type (Col‐0). In contrast, the high light treatment used to enhance PSII‐originated ROS production resulted in no difference in PSII damage between Col‐0 and aor . In conclusion, AOR can contribute to detoxify stromal RCs produced under oxidative stress.
