Antioxidants and Reactive Oxygen Species in Plants summarizes much
recent research in to the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in
plant metabolism, underling the important role of ROS as signalling
molecules in plant growth and development and in plant responses to
biotic and abiotic stress. It provides a solid background for
research workers involved in this field of investigation and
comprises eleven chapters written by twenty authors, all of whom
are recognized scientists with notable achievements in research
into antioxidants and oxygen stress.
The great value of the book is that it reflects recent marked
changes in our view of ROS.
The book will be very useful not only for researchers directly
involved in ROS and antioxidants investigations, but also to those
who are entering the field, since each chapter has a brief
introduction with definitions and an explanation of the problem. I
can certainly recommend Antioxidants and Reactive Oxygen Species in
Plants to graduate students with a background in plant molecular
biology, biochemistry and environmental biology and who have an
interest in the growing significance of ROS in so many aspects of
plant life.
