About this book
This edited book focuses on ROS synthesis, potential applications, toxicity, and preservations. It explores the recently proposed hormonal response and biomolecules targeted in regulation of ROS. Chapters cover resistance and susceptibility to plant pathogen, strategies involving phytoprotectants, and life span of nematode affected by ROS. This book includes a compilation of recently written, integrated, and illustrated reviews describing latest information on ROS. Chapters incorporate both theoretical and practical aspects of plant ROS.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key signaling molecules involved in the redox equilibrium and biological processes. In plants, ROS play an important role in biotic and abiotic stress sensing, integration of diverse environmental signals, and commencement of stress-response networks, thus contributing to the establishment of defense mechanisms and plant resilience. Critical amount of ROS is required by plants for regular operation of vital physiological mechanisms.This book brings together a compilation of latest research work on reactive oxygen species and their emerging importance. The book is a useful read for students, researchers, and scientists in the field of agri-life sciences.

About the editors
Dr. Mohammad Faizan is working as an assistant professor in the Botany Section at Maulana Azad National Urdu University, Hyderabad, India. He completed his postdoc in 2021 in the Department of Silviculture, College of Forestry, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing, China. In 2018, he received his PhD in botany from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, and his MSc in 2014 from Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University, Kanpur, India. His ongoing research is based on abiotic stress tolerance mediated by nanoparticles, and investigating the bioaccumulation, bio-transformations, uptake, translocation, and effects of bulk- and nano-forms of metals on plant physiology, morphology, anatomy, the ultrastructure of cellular and subcellular organelles, and modifications.
