  The existence of isoform diversity among antioxidant enzymes contributes to the spatial and temporal fine tuning of cellular responses. In plants heme binding ascorbate peroxidase (APX) (EC, 1.11.1.11) presents a crucial line of defense against reactive oxygen species. The present study aims to provide a comparative view of the functional attributes of major isoforms of APX in plants species. A total of 64 protein sequences of APX were subjected to homology search, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree construction, and motif analysis. The phylogenetic tree constructed revealed different clusters based on heme binding APX in respect of dicot and monocot plants such as different source of plant species represented by Oryza sativa, Arabidopsis thaliana, Sorghum bicolor, Zea mays, Ricinus communis, Populus trichocarpa, Vitis vinifera, and Selaginella moellendorffii.
