This book is compilation of studies related with the xenobiotics
i.e. chemical or other substance that is not normally found in the
ecosystems and get accumulated at higher concentration in the
biological system due to rampant industrialisation and urbanisation
activities. This book has tried to give information on various
issues to give comprehensive and concise knowledge of the recent
advancement in the field of environmental xenobiotics and how it
disturbs the plants metabolism. Other key features of the book are
related to xenobiotic toxicity and detoxification mechanism,
biochemical tools toward its remediation processes, molecular
mechanism for xenobiotics detoxification and effect on metallomics.
It also focuses on recent development in the field of waste water
remediation concerned with the xenobiotics involvement. This book
is different in such a way that it includes all the initial
information along with the new researches. It includes the
description of problem along with its solution. This volume
describe the effects of xenobiotics at different levels i.e.
biochemical, physiological and molecular, giving the details on
signaling pathways to modify the responses of xenobiotics in plant
system. Thus, it gives confirming crosstalk between xenobiotic
effects and signalling pathways. This book includes description
about both the organic contaminants such as pesticides, solvents
and petroleum products as well as inorganic xenobiotics that
include heavy metals, non-metals, metalloids, and simple soluble
salts. Here the plant is main objective and that have to deal with
these kinds of compounds either by avoiding accumulation of these
compounds or by exhibiting several enzymatic reactions for
detoxification including oxidation, reduction, and conjugation
reactions. Affected plants exhibit several enzymatic and
non-enzymatic antioxidant and other reactions for detoxification of
ROS including oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis and conjugation
reactions. The book focuses on different forms and sources of
xenobiotics including organic and inorganic xenobiotics. The matter
of this book will definitely increase the knowledge about the
impacts of xenobiotics on plants system. There must be potentially
broad readership who could find this fruitful for their study as
well as for their research. As this book has balance between basic
plant physiology and toxicity caused by the xenobiotics so it can
be widely used in several disciplines. Overall, the book will bring
deep knowledge in the field of xenobiotics toxicity in plants
during recent years and it is definitely a compilation of
interesting information which isn't fully covered elsewhere in the
current market.
