Role of Antioxidants in Abiotic Stress Management covers the antioxidant defense system in plants, providing key insights on how to generate tolerant varieties that can adapt to harsh environmental conditions without adverse impacts on crop productivity. The book covers a broad range of antioxidant responses, describing how global climate changes and the overexploitation of natural or anthropogenic resources creates abiotic stressors. The potential impacts of factors such as heavy metals/metalloids, drought/water deficit, salinity, extreme temperatures, anoxia, and high light intensity are covered, along with discussions on how to improve crop growth and development at different stages.
Written by a team of international experts, this book provides an important reference on morphological, physiological, biochemical, metabolic, anatomical and molecular responses of plants under stress factors.
