Plants depend on physiological mechanisms to combat adverse
environmental conditions, such as pathogen attack, wounding,
drought, cold, freezing, salt, UV, intense light, heavy metals and
SO2. Many of these cause excess production of active oxygen species
in plant cells. Plants have evolved complex defense systems against
such oxidative stress. The study of these mechanisms has become a
fast-moving, important field to many biologists. Written and edited
by world-leading scientists, Oxidative Stress in Plants explores
the current knowledge of the mechanisms by which various biotic and
abiotic environmental stress conditions produce oxygen radicals.
The text considers the biochemistry and molecular biology of both
non-enzymatic (vitamin C, glutathione) and enzymatic systems which
eliminate active oxygen species. In addition, the book discusses
evidence that active oxygen species and antioxidants act as signals
which trigger defense reactions.
