Revisiting the Role of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in Plants: Ros Boon or Bane for Plants?

2017 | Natural World

This comprehensive book will describe the basics of ROS metabolism in plants and how they affect various developmental processes in plants. This book will discuss in detail the advancement made in understanding the ROS signalling. The authors will begin by presenting the basic introduction to ROS and decipher the detailed knowledge in ROS research. They then examine the broad range of ROS signalling mechanisms as well as how they may be beneficial for plants and human beings. The damaging impact of ROS is well established. However, new discoveries are increasingly assigning a beneficial role to ROS in cell signaling which consequently regulates various plant developmental processes. Thus, our concept of ROS can be converted from bane to boon. This book will try to compile the wholesome knowledge in ROS research and their cellular signaling which is not yet compiled in any current comprehensive book written on ROS. The book will help scientists to utilize the functions of ROS signaling for plants and also enable readers to gain a deeper knowledge of ROS research and signaling.
