Organic Solutes, Oxidative Stress, and Antioxidant Enzymes Under Abiotic Stressors

This book presents evidence-based approaches and techniques used to diagnose and manage organic solutes, oxidative stress, and antioxidant enzymes in crop plants under abiotic stressors. It discusses strategies in abiotic stress tolerance including osmoregulation, osmoprotectants, and the regulation of compatible solutes and antioxidant enzymes in plants. With contributions from 49 scholars worldwide, this authoritative guide is educational for scientists working with plants and abiotic stressors.

• Provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of abiotic stress, from abiotic stresses? effects on plant growth, development, and defense mechanisms, to functionality of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant enzymes in crop plants.
• Outlines the dangers of reactive oxygen species.
• Discusses using antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant molecules in plant protection mechanisms.

Edited by Arafat Abdel Hamed Abdel Latef, Professor of Plant Physiology at South Valley University, Egypt, this book is written for graduate students and scholars researching abiotic plant stressors.
