Causes of Photooxidative Stress and Amelioration of Defense Systems in Plants

The volume contains full coverage of research on photo-oxidative stress, from photochemistry to molecular genetics. The text includes a comprehensive collection of major reviews providing a broad perspective. The contributors highlight many areas of current research and explore the causes of photo-oxidative stress in plants and the environmental consequences, as well as the biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology of protective systems. They also examine how these systems can be manipulated to improve stress tolerance.
