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.
