Plant Enzyme Systems and Their Biochemical and Environmental Interactions

Azamal Husen

Plant Enzyme Systems and Their Biochemical and Environmental Interactions offers a comprehensive exploration of the pivotal role plant enzymes play in sustaining life, driving metabolic pathways, and enabling plants to thrive under both favourable and adverse conditions. As climate change, soil degradation, drought, and salinity continue to challenge global agriculture, this book provides an in-depth understanding of how plant enzymes sense, adapt, and respond to environmental cues. It bridges fundamental plant biochemistry with practical environmental applications, revealing how enzymatic networks govern photosynthesis, respiration, nutrient assimilation, defence responses, and stress resilience. Drawing on the latest research, the book highlights innovative strategies that harness enzyme systems for sustainable agriculture, crop improvement, and ecological restoration. It is an essential resource for MSc and PhD scholars, researchers, plant biologists, and environmental scientists seeking to enhance plant productivity and develop solutions for global food security and environmental sustainability.
