This book contains 14 chapters and provides up-to-date basic information on antioxidant plants from different sources and on the role of different abiotic and biotic stresses, endophytes and mycorrhizal fungi in the development of antioxidant compounds in plants. Some transgenic approaches to the scavenging of reactive oxygen species, and of the antioxidant plants used in different therapeutic systems are discussed and the different medicinal and aromatic plants that have the potential to be used as antioxidants are pointed out.
