Glutathione and glutathione reductase: a boon in disguise for plant abiotic stress defense operations

TLDR
An overview of the structure, localization, biosynthesis, and significance of GSH and GR significance in abiotic stress (such as salinity, drought, clilling, heavy metal)-exposed crop plants is presented and also points out unexplored aspects in the current context for future studies.

The phyto-impact of fluazinam fungicide on cellular structure, agro-physiological, and yield traits of pepper and eggplant crops

TL;DR: The findings suggested that fluazinam-treated plants could initiate an early defense mechanism to mitigate the permanent growth retardation and could serve as a matrix for further studies to seek elucidation of plants’ response to other doses of fluazInam.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of oxidative stress in determining the level of viability of black poplar (Populus nigra) seeds stored at different temperatures.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that oxidative stress increases during seed storage, especially at the warmer temperatures and injures seed tissues; resulting in a loss of viability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteomic profiling of γ-ECS overexpressed transgenic Nicotiana in response to drought stress

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that GSH plays an important role in combating drought stress in plants by inducing stress related genes and proteins like HSP70, chalcone synthase, glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxin peroxIDase, ACC oxidase, and heme oxygenase I.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of antioxidant-related genes in flavedo of cold-stored grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macfad cv. Rio Red) treated with pectic oligosaccharides

TL;DR: Results indicate that a prolonged cold storage promoted the incidence of CI symptoms in 'Rio Red' grapefruit and altered the ultrastructural morphology of flavedo epidermal tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential partitioning of thiols and glucosinolates between shoot and root in Chinese cabbage upon excess zinc exposure.

TL;DR: Different acuumulation patterns of sulfur containing compounds in root and shoot of Chinese cabbage may be a strategy for Chinese cabbage to combat with exposure to excess Zn.

Reactive oxygen species and antioxidant machinery in abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants

TL;DR: The biochemistry of ROS and their production sites, and ROS scavenging antioxidant defense machinery are described, which protects plants against oxidative stress damages.

ASCORBATE AND GLUTATHIONE: Keeping Active Oxygen Under Control

TL;DR: A detailed account of current knowledge of the biosynthesis, compartmentation, and transport of these two important antioxidants, with emphasis on the unique insights and advances gained by molecular exploration are provided.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biotechnological approach of improving plant salt tolerance using antioxidants as markers.

TL;DR: The role of different antioxidants as potential selection criteria for improving plant salt tolerance has been critically discussed and the potential of this approach in counteracting stress-induced oxidative stress has been discussed at length in this review.
