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.

Plant Glutathione Transferases and Their Role in the Mitigation of Abiotic Stresses

TL;DR: GSTs play an important role in alleviating oxidative stress from plants including H2O2 content, reactive oxygen species, and methylglyoxal, etc as discussed by the authors , and GSTs being hydrophilic, highly reactive and stable compound effectively scavenges ROS by inhibiting oxidation of thiol (SH) group and creating redox buffer that aids in the stabilization of cellular redox state while heavy metals detoxify by binding with thiol group and decreased concentration of metals in cytosol.

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.
