Ascorbate-Glutathione Pathway and Stress Tolerance in Plants

Beschreibung

Plants are sessile organisms that live under a constant barrage of biotic and abiotic insults. Both biotic and abiotic stress factors have been shown to affect various aspects of plant system including the acceleration in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ascorbate (AsA)-glutathione (GSH) pathway is a key part of the network of reactions involving enzymes and metabolites with redox properties for the detoxification of ROS, and thus to avert the ROS-accrued oxidative damage in plants. The present book mainly deals with the information gained through the cross-talks and inter-relationship studies on the physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of the cumulative response of various components of AsA-GSH pathway to stress factors and their significance in plant stress tolerance.

Discusses significant strategies for averting stress-induced oxidative damage and for improving stress tolerance in plants Includes numerous relevant illustrations/figures to help understand the response of components of As. A-GSH pathway under the changing environment Includes information gained through cross-talks and inter-relationship studies Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
