TL;DR: Since all functions thus far described for GSH in plants are related to the cysteine moiety of the tripeptide, thesehomologues may exercise similar biochemical roles to c-Key words: Oxidative stress, photorespiration, glutathione, EC-gly.

TL;DR: It is concluded that overexpression of gamma-ECS increases biosynthesis of glutathione and PCs, which in turn enhances Cd tolerance and accumulation, and appears to be a promising strategy for the production of plants with superior heavy metal phytoremediation capacity.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in the presence of Cd, the GS enzyme is rate limiting for the biosynthesis of glutathione and phytochelatins, and that overexpression of GS offers a promising strategy for the production of plants with superior heavy-metal phytoremediation capacity.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the genetic engineering of lignin-specific laccases is a potentially innovative and promising tool for the fine-tuning of lIGNin content and structure.

TL;DR: Kraft pulping of tree trunks showed that the reduced-CAD lines had improved characteristics, allowing easier delignification, using smaller amounts of chemicals, while yielding more high-quality pulp, highlighting the potential of engineering wood quality for more environmentally benign papermaking without interfering with tree growth or fitness.
