The Role of Gasotransmitters In the
Amelioration of Arsenic Toxicity in Plants: Biology and Biotechnology,
in the Plant Gasotransmitter series, provides research on how
gasotransmitters can reduce the stress faced by plants through arsenic
contamination. With a strong focus on metabolic processes, the book
presents the various pathways and mechanisms associated with
gasotransmitters as part of arsenic amelioration. Initial chapters
discuss the effects of arsenic on the plant genome and metabolome, as
well as the mechanisms behind the uptake and translocation of arsenic in
plants. The book then takes a deep dive into the role of
gasotransmitters, highlighting plant physiological responses.
This is
an essential resource for students, researchers and agronomists
interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and plant hormones.
- Explains the physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of how gasotransmitters can mitigate stress by arsenic in plants
- Presents how arsenic is found in the environment, along with associated problems with arsenic contamination
- Highlights the impact of food processing on minimizing arsenic and other potentially toxic elements in edible plants
