Contribution of glutathione to the control of cellular redox homeostasis under toxic metal and metalloid stress

TL;DR: This review provides an update on mechanisms of tolerance that depend on biothiols in plant cells exposed to toxic elements, with a particular emphasis on the Hg-triggered responses, and considering the contribution of hormones to their regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological and biochemical responses to high light and temperature stress in plants

TL;DR: Studies on plant antioxidant responses indicate that a crucial part of the antioxidant network operates in chloroplasts and their action shows a high level of interdependence, and frequently varies for different species.

Oxidant and antioxidant signalling in plants: a re-evaluation of the concept of oxidative stress in a physiological context

TL;DR: It is proposed that the oxidative stress syndrome would be more usefully described as 'oxidative signalling', that is, an important and critical function associated with the mechanisms by which plant cells sense the environment and make appropriate adjustments to gene expression, metabolism and physiology.

Glutathione in plants: an integrated overview.

TL;DR: How alterations in glutathione status, such as those observed during stress, may participate in signal transduction cascades are discussed and how these alterations are integrated to fine-tune photorespiratory and respiratory metabolism and to modulate phytohormone signalling pathways.
