Oxidative Stress in Plants (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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, and biologists are now studying these mechanisms in-depth. Oxidative Stress in Plants explores how various biotic and abiotic environmental stress conditions produce oxygen radicals. It explains the biochemistry and molecular biology of both non-enzymatic (vitamin C, glutathione) and enzymatic systems which eliminate active oxygen species.
