Role of Antioxidants in Mitigating Plant Stress explores the fundamental roles and mechanistic approaches of antioxidant stress tolerance strategies. With chapters addressing both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, it provides a clear guide for understanding plant responses. 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.
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.
