Role of Antioxidants in Abiotic Stress Management

Role of Antioxidants in Abiotic Stress Management deciphers the antioxidant defense system in plants providing key insights into generating tolerant varieties which can adapt themselves to harsh environmental conditions without adverse impacts on crop productivity. It covers a broad of range antioxidant responses, guiding the reader through Global climate changes and overexploitation of natural or anthropogenic resources are predicted to further enhance the intensity the adverse impacts of abiotic stress factors om plants. It is increasingly urgent to understand the potential impacts of factors such as heavy metals/metalloids, drought /water deficit, salinity, extreme temperatures, anoxia and high light intensity and to understand the mechanistic approaches utilized by abiotic stress factors in reducing the crops growth and development at different growth stages. Written by a team of international experts, Role of Antioxidants in Abiotic Stress Management provides an important reference on morphological, physiological, biochemical, metabolic, anatomical and molecular responses of plants under stress factors.
