With contributions that review research on this topic throughout the world, Oxidative Damage to Plants covers key areas of discovery, from the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs), their mechanisms, quenching of these ROSs through enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, and detailed aspects of such antioxidants as SOD and CAT. Environmental stress is responsible for the generation of oxidative stress, which causes oxidative damage to biomolecules and hence reduces crop yield. To cope up with these problems, scientists have to fully understand the generation of reactive oxygen species, its impact on plants and how plants will be able to withstand these stresses. Provides invaluable information about the role of antioxidants in alleviating oxidative stressExamines both the negative effects (senescence, impaired photosynthesis and necrosis) and positive effects (crucial role that superoxide plays against invading microbes) of ROS on plantsFeatures contributors from a variety of regions globally INDICE: Reactive Oxygen Species and PhotosynthesisRoghieh HajibolandReactive Oxygen Species and Plant HormonesMarcelo Pedrosa Gomes, Élise Smedbol, Marília Mércia Lima Carvalho Carneiro, Queila Souza Garcia and Philippe JuneauSuperoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants: An OverviewRéka SzollosiCatalase: A Versatile Antioxidant in PlantsIti Sharma and Parvaiz AhmadRole of Glutathione in Abiotic Stress ToleranceAgnieszka Waskiewicz, Olimpia Gladysz, Kinga Szentner and Piotr GolinskiGlutathione Metabolism in Plants under Environmental StressAsiya Hameed, Iti Sharma, Ashwani Kumar, MM Azooz, Helal Ahmad Lone and Parvaiz AhmadNon-enzymatic Antioxidants in PlantsAgnieszka Waskiewicz, Monika Beszterda and Piotr GolinskiAscorbic acid: A Potent Defender against Environmental StressesRamanpreet Kaur and Harsh NayyarCarotenoids Involved in Antioxidant System of ChloroplastsDariusz Latowski, Renata Szymanska and Kazimierz StrzalkaLipophilic Molecules as a Part of Antioxidant System in PlantsRenata Szymanska, Dariusz Latowski, Beatrycze Nowicka and Kazimierz StrzalkaDrought Stress Induced Oxidative Damage and Antioxidants in PlantsParvaiz Ahmad, Sumiya Jamsheed, Asiya Hameed, Saima Rasool, Iti Sharma, MM Azooz and Mirza HasanuzzamanAntioxidant Enzymes: Defense Against High Temperature StressRohit Joshi and Vishwanathan ChinnusamyReactive Oxygen Species and Antioxidants in Response to Pathogens and WoundingFakiha Afzal, Rabia Khurshid, Muhammad Ashraf and Alvina Gul KaziRole of Ascorbate Peroxidase on Postharvest Treatments in Horticultural CropYoshihiro ImahoriMycorrhizal Association and ROS in PlantsQiang-Sheng Wu, Ying-Ning Zou and Elsayed Fathi Abd-AllahProline Protects Plants Against Abiotic Oxidative Stress: Biochemical and Molecular MechanismsMohammad Anwar Hossain, Md.
