Book Description Hardbound. Condition: As New. Reprint. Contents Preface. 1. Overview Oxidative stress and Postharvest produce/D. Mark Hodges. 2. Postharvest response of horticultural products to Ozone/Charles F. Forney. 3. Low temperature as a causative agent of Oxidative stress in Postharvest crops/Wendy V. Wismer. 4. Effects of storage conditions and Postharvest procedures on oxidative stress in fruits and vegetables/Peter M.A. Toivonen. 5. Superficial scald a Postharvest oxidative stress disorder/John M. Delong and Robert K. Prange. 6. Oxidative stress affecting fruit senescence/Gene Edward Lester. 7. Antioxidants/Susan Lurie. 8. How respiring plant cells limit the production of active oxygen species/Albert C. Purvis. 9. Physiological effects of oxidative stress in relation to Ethylene in Postharvest produce/Andrea Masia. 10.Genetic variation and prospects for genetic engineering of horticultural crops for resistance to oxidative stress induced by Postharvest conditions/Christopher B. Watkins and Mulpuri V. Rao. 11. Postharvest treatments to control oxidative stress in fruits and vegetables/Peter M.A. Toivonen. Index. This essential book brings together internationally respected authorities who share their experiences insights and approaches to Postharvest oxidative stress. It examines the factors that induce oxidative stress and the process by which oxidative stress affects the quality shelf life and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables after harvest. Postharvest Oxidative Stress in Horticultural Crops also explores the regulation of active oxygen species production and the function of antioxidants and will familiarize you with technologies that can enhance the resistance of fruits and vegetables to oxidative stress. With Postharvest Oxidative Stress in Horticultural Crops you will examine The impact of various storage temperatures and atmospheres. Senescence dynamics. Superficial scald and other symptoms of Postharvest oxidative stress. Antioxidants and their role in inhibiting oxidative stress. Regulation of super oxide hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide production. Physical treatments and chemical treatments that can reduce oxidative stress. Genetic engineering techniques designed to combat the tendency toward Postharvest oxidative stress. A valuable resource. A broad ranging summary of current knowledge plus insights into the logical direction of future investigations. Thoroughly explores the developing broad hypothesis that oxidative stress plays an integral role in the Postharvest storage life of fresh fruits and vegetables. Provides a clear and up to date picture of how and where oxyradicals are generated in plant cells and how they react with various cellular components eventually causing cell death. Equally important and informative are the book's concise lucid synopses of the crucial cycling and interplay of antioxidant compounds and enzymes that constitute the plant cell's defenses against reactive oxygen species. 266 pp. Seller Inventory # 51796
