Special focus is given to gene expression, omics and other latest technologies such as CRISPR-Cas mediated genome editing applications for defense related studies in plants. Environmental stresses such as drought, salinity or floods etc. induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which causes severe damage to cell membrane integrity by accelerating lipid peroxidation. To counteract the detrimental effect of ROS, plants are inherited with an intricate and vibrant antioxidant defense system, comprised of enzymatic (catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, guaiacol peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase etc.), and non-enzymatic (glutathione, ascorbate, ?-tocopherol, carotenoids, flavonoids etc.) antioxidants, which scavenge and/or reduce excess ROS and improve plant tolerance to various stresses. Stress tolerance in most crop plants is positively correlated with an efficient antioxidant system. Therefore, studying the efficiency of antioxidant defense systems in plants is necessary for facilitating the plant?s nature of adaptation against challenging environments. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers and academic experts. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of biotechnology and molecular biology of plants. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aPlant molecular biology 606 $aBotanical chemistry 606 $aStress (Physiology) 606 $aPlants 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aPlant Molecular Biology 606 $aPlant Biochemistry 606 $aPlant Stress Responses 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aPlant molecular biology. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 615 0$aStress (Physiology) 615 0$aPlants. 615 14$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aPlant Molecular Biology. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 615 24$aPlant Stress Responses. 676 $a613.286 702 $aAftab$b Tariq 702 $aHakeem$b Khalid Rehman 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910568247103321 996 $aAntioxidant defense in plants$92989208 997 $aUNINA
