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.

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.

Role of Glutathione Reductase in Plant Abiotic Stress

TL;DR: Glutathione reductase (GR) is one of the potential enzymes of the enzymatic antioxidant system, which sustains the reduced status of GSH via Ascorbate–GlutATHione pathway and plays a vital role in maintenance of sulfhydryl (–SH) group and acts as a substrate for glutathione-S-transferases.

Enhanced sensitivity to oxidative stress in transgenic tobacco plants with decreased glutathione reductase activity leads to a decrease in ascorbate pool and ascorbate redox state.

TL;DR: It is suggested that capacity for regeneration of glutathione by GR plays an important role in protecting against oxidative stress by maintaining ascorbate pool and asCorbate redox state.

Effects of simultaneous expression of heterologous genes involved in phytochelatin biosynthesis on thiol content and cadmium accumulation in tobacco plants

TL;DR: A multi-transgene strategy described in this work resulted in a strong increase in the levels of several classes of non-protein thiols in transgenic plants, and other factors appeared to restrict cadmium accumulation in shoots.

Changes of resveratrol and antioxidant enzymes during UV-induced plant defense response in peanut seedlings.

TL;DR: It is proposed that changes in endogenous resveratrol and in antioxidant enzymes may have been involved in oxidative stress induced by UV-C exposure in peanut seedlings.
