Gupta D.K., Palma J.M., Corpas F.J. (Eds.) Reactive Oxygen Species and Oxidative Damage in Plants Under Stress

Springer, 2015. — 370 p. — ISBN: 978-3-319-20421-5.Since last three decades, it’s indeed a big boom in the field of ROS and its role/function in plants. The main purpose of the book is to provide detailed and comprehensive knowledge to the academicians and researchers who are interested in the field of oxidative damage caused by stresses in plants with special reference to the metabolism of ROS and site of production of ROS in plant systems. Other key features of this book are ROS signaling, ROS and disease resistance, redox regulation, and antioxidant defense during stresses, heavy metal-induced oxidative stresses, and heavy metal toxicity and detoxification mechanism. Some chapters are also focusing on hormones/polyphenols as antioxidants and the future of transgenic plants in antioxidative defense. The functional interaction between ROS and the reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is also addressed in this volume. In the nutshell, the information compiled in this book will bring very deep knowledge and advancement in the field of ROS and oxidative damages caused by stresses in current years in plant sciences.
