The present edited book is an attempt to update the state of art of
the knowledge on metabolism of ROS and antioxidants and their
relationship in plant adaptation to abiotic stresses involving
physiological, biochemical and molecular processes. The chapters
are much focused on the current climate issues and how ROS
metabolism can manipulate with antioxidant system to accelerate
detoxification mechanism. It will enhance the mechanistic
understanding on ROS and antioxidants system and will pave the path
for agricultural scientists in developing tolerant crops to achieve
sustainability under the changing environmental conditions. The
increase in abiotic stress factors has become a major threat to
sustainability of crop production. This situation has led to think
ways which can help to come out with potential measures; for which
it is necessary to understand the influence of abiotic stress
factors on crops performance and the mechanisms by which these
factors impact plants. It has now become evident that abiotic
stress impacts negatively on plant growth and development at every
stage of plant's life. Plants adapt to the changing environment
with the adjustment at physiological, biochemical and molecular
levels. The possible mechanisms involved in the negative effects of
abiotic stress factors are excess production of reactive oxygen
species (ROS). They alter physiological and molecular mechanisms
leading to poor performance of plants. Plants however, are able to
cope with these adverse effects by inducing antioxidant systems as
the priority. Nevertheless, the dual role of ROS has now been
ascertained which provides an evidence for regulation of plant
metabolism positively on a concentration-dependent manner. Under
conditions of high ROS production, the antioxidant system plays a
major role in diminishing the effects of ROS. Thus, ROS production
and antioxidant system are interwoven with abiotic stress
conditions. The antioxidants have the capacity to hold the
stability in metabolism in order to avoid disruption due to
environmental disturbances.
