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.

Regulation of Ascorbate-Glutathione Pathway in Mitigating Oxidative Damage in Plants under Abiotic Stress

TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent progress of the research on AsA-GSH pathway in terms of oxidative stress tolerance in plants and focuses on the defense mechanisms as well as molecular interactions.

Phytoremediation: Environmentally sustainable way for reclamation of heavy metal polluted soils.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils is a reliable tool and necessary for making the land resource accessible for crop production.

Glutathione in plants: biosynthesis and physiological role in environmental stress tolerance

TL;DR: In this review, the recent progress in GSH biosynthesis, metabolism and its role in abiotic stress tolerance is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Friend or foe? Reactive oxygen species production, scavenging and signaling in plant response to environmental stresses.

TL;DR: Over the past two decades it has been proven that ROS together with non‐photochemical quenching (NPQ), hormones, Ca2+ waves, and electrical signals are the main players in SAA and SAR, two physiological processes essential for plant survival and productivity in unfavorable conditions.

High Salinity Induces Different Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Responses in Maize Seedlings Organs

TL;DR: It is suggested that Na+ is retained and detoxified mainly in roots, and less stress impact is observed in mature and younger leaves, allowing leaves to activate their defense mechanisms for better protection against salt stress.

Comparative response of maize and rice genotypes to heat stress: status of oxidative stress and antioxidants

TL;DR: The findings suggested that maize genotypes were able to retain their growth under high-temperature conditions partly due to their superior ability to cope up with oxidative damage by heat stress compared to rice genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lateral gene transfer and parallel evolution in the history of glutathione biosynthesis genes

TL;DR: The evolutionary history of the glutathione biosynthesis genes is more complex than anticipated and suggests that the two genes in the pathway were acquired independently, including the gene for γ-glutamylcysteine ligase.

Hydroxymethyl-Phytochelatins [([gamma]-Glutamylcysteine)n-Serine] Are Metal-Induced Peptides of the Poaceae

TL;DR: The hm-PCs probably play a significant role in heavy metal detoxication in rice and are assumed to be formed from hydroxymethyl-glutathione ([gamma]-Glu-Cys-Ser), while PCs and [gamma]EC peptides without C-terminal Ser or Gly are found.

Glutathione and Homoglutathione Synthesis in Legume Root Nodules

TL;DR: Isolation of full-length cDNA sequences coding for gamma-glutamylcysteinyl synthetase from legume nodules revealed that they are highly homologous to those from other higher plants.
