Description for Organic Xenobiotics and Plants
Hardback. This volume presents an overview of the nature and distribution of organic xenobiotics, including their uptake, effects on plant functioning and detoxification mechanisms. It includes practical applications to real-life problems. Editor(s): Schroder, Peter; Collins, Christopher D. Series: Plant Ecophysiology. Num Pages: 311 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSTD; PSTS; RP; TQ; TV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 701.
Natural and agro-ecosystems are frequently exposed to natural or synthetic substances, which, while they have no direct nutritional value or significance in metabolism, may negatively affect plant functioning. These, xenobiotics, may originate from both natural (fires, volcano eruptions, soil or rock erosion, biodegradation) and anthropogenic (air and soil pollution, herbicides) sources. And, while affected plants have only a limited number of possibilities for avoiding accumulation of these compounds, they do exhibit several enzymatic reactions for detoxification including oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis and conjugation reactions. In agro-ecosystems in particular these mechanisms have great significance in relation to herbicide detoxification and tolerance. ... Read more
