Antioxidant Defense in Plants

  • 655 Accesses

Abstract

Global climate change and abiotic stresses, like waterlogging, salinity, heavy metals, high temperature, etc., greatly affect plant growth, development, and ultimately crop yield. Oxygen radicals and their derivatives produced by plant cells, known as ROS, result in abiotic stress. Plants contain complicated antioxidative defense mechanism, consisting of nonenzymatic and enzymatic components, which check ROS accumulation and induce plant defense. This chapter focuses on deleterious effects of ROS and antioxidant defense mechanism under various abiotic stresses responsible for ROS detoxification and transcription factors associated with ROS and micro-RNA production under abiotic stress. In addition, it also focuses on crop engineering for abiotic stress resistance in relation to antioxidant machinery and reactive species.
