Abstract

Legumes, grown worldwide under various climate conditions, are strongly appreciated for their nutritional value and impact in terms of environmental benefits and enhanced sustainability. Several environmental and anthropogenic factors can affect legume crop productivity, among which are the deleterious abiotic stresses, namely drought, salinity, temperature, heavy metals. Different abiotic stresses impair legume growth and performance by triggering a common scenario within the cell that is extensive oxidative damage. Thus, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the oxidative stress response in legumes will lead to innovative agronomic and scientific developments, promoting the future competitiveness of the system. The chapter will present and discuss the state of the art concerning the hallmarks of oxidative damage and plant antioxidant response as well as the impact of oxidative injury on genome integrity. The focus will be on the DNA damage response and the way plants use this complex molecular network to cope with stress. Besides dissecting the cellular mechanisms, an in-depth evaluation of the several environmental and anthropogenic factors that are stress determinants is provided. In this context, the role of emerging players as miRNAs will be discussed. This chapter provides new insights on legume profiles of antioxidant stress response resulting from ‘omics’, covering issues of model legumes versus legume crops.
