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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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 Ascorbate Peroxidase and Glutathione Reductase in Ascorbate–Glutathione Cycle and Stress Tolerance in Plants

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent progress in research on APX, GR and stress tolerance in the AsA-GSH cycle is discussed. And the authors showed that APX and GR play an important role in providing resistance to oxidative stress caused by different stressors such as paraquat, methyl viologen, ozone, drought, heavy metals, high light, salinity, and chilling.

Elevated chloroplastic glutathione reductase activities decrease chilling-induced photoinhibition by increasing rates of photochemistry, but not thermal energy dissipation, in transgenic cotton

TL;DR: Although GR overproduction afforded some increased protection against PSI photoinactivation, suggesting improved scavenging of reactive oxygen species, higher PSI activities could not completely explain the greater rates of photochemistry in GR+ plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antisense-mediated depletion of tomato chloroplast glutathione reductase enhances susceptibility to chilling stress.

TL;DR: Ass assessments of glutathione-ascorbate cycle revealed that the decrease of glutATHione reductase activity in transgenic plants affected glutathion regeneration, and consequently affected ascorbate regeneration and total ascorBate content.

Impact of elevated CO2 and elevated O3 on Beta vulgaris L.: Pigments, metabolites, antioxidants, growth and yield

TL;DR: Assessment of morphological, biochemical and yield responses of palak to ambient and elevated levels of CO(2) and O(3) concludes that ambient level of CO (2) is not enough to counteract O (3) impact, but elevated CO( 2) has potential to counteract the negative effects of future O( 3) level.

A Medicago truncatula Homoglutathione Synthetase Is Derived from Glutathione Synthetase by Gene Duplication

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of GSHS2 and GSHS1 with other eukaryotic GSHS sequences indicated that gshs2 and gshS1 are the result of a gene duplication that occurred after the divergence between Fabales, Solanales, and Brassicales.
