Molecular and enzymatic approach to study Trichoderma harzianum-induced disease resistance in Brassica juncea against Albugo candida

TL;DR: It is concluded that T. harzianum induced disease resistance in B. juncea against A. candida infection through the involvement of MAP kinase and up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes.

The Regulatory and Signaling Roles of Glutathione in Modulating Abiotic Stress Responses and Tolerance

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of GSH on plant stress resistance is achieved mainly through the cycle of ascorbate (AsA)-GSH producing dehydroascorbate (DHA) re-reduction, in which GSH is intermediate in the recycling of H2O2 reduction and the recycling process is regulated by the glutathione reductase (GR) enzyme.

Zinc Supplementation Enhances Glutathione-Mediated Antioxidant Defense and Glyoxalase Systems to Conferring Salt Tolerance in Soybean (Glycine max L.)

TL;DR: In this article , the role of zinc in salt-affected soybean (Glycine max L.) was scrutinized by exposing plants to salt stress (150 mM NaCl) alone and in combination with exogenous Zn (priming and/or foliar spray with 1 mM ZnSO4.7H2O).

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.
