With chapters addressing both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, it provides a clear guide for understanding plant responses. Plants are regularly exposed to various kinds of abiotic and biotic stresses in their natural environmental conditions. These stresses have significant influence on agriculture worldwide and thus, lead to massive economic losses as well as food insecurity. Research has identified many of the effects of, and mitigation techniques for, various stresses that impact plant systems. Strategies for strengthening the antioxidant defense system can increase yields and protect crop plants from a variety of stresses. clarifies a broad range of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants as they coordinate and form a complex set of mechanisms to efficiently minimize, buffer and remove reactive oxygen species. Presenting current understanding of these components, the book features their role, molecular properties and reaction mechanisms to various environmental conditions. This book provides an important reference for researchers and advanced level students seeking to improve plant health.
• Discusses the modulation of antioxidant system which enables plants to initiate short- and long-term mitigation responses
• Examines the potential of non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidants in stress response
• Explores coordination of antioxidants, plant hormones and PGPR for higher plant performance under various stresses
• Examines the potential of non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidants in stress response
• Explores coordination of antioxidants, plant hormones and PGPR for higher plant performance under various stresses
