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.
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.

Overexpression of glutathione reductase but not glutathione synthetase leads to increases in antioxidant capacity and resistance to photoinhibition in poplar trees.

TL;DR: It is suggested that overexpression of GR in the chloroplast increases the antioxidant capacity of the leaves and that this improves the capacity to withstand oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptome analysis of sulfur depletion in Arabidopsis thaliana: interlacing of biosynthetic pathways provides response specificity.

TL;DR: Based on the correlative analysis of gene expression patterns, it is suggested that a complex co-ordination of systematic responses to sulfur depletion is provided via integration of flavonoid, auxin and jasmonate pathway elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substitution of the Thioredoxin System for Glutathione Reductase in Drosophila melanogaster

TL;DR: The absence of glutathione reductase in Drosophila melanogaster is demonstrated, a new type of thioredoxin reduct enzyme is identified, and evidence that a thiOREDoxin system supports GSSG reduction is provided, suggesting that antioxidant defense in Dosophila, and probably in related insects, differs fundamentally from that in other organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Properties and physiological function of a glutathione reductase purified from spinach leaves by affinity chromatography.

TL;DR: The kinetic properties of the enzyme suggest that GSH/GSSG ratios in chloroplasts will be very high under both light and dark conditions and this prediction was confirmed experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sulfur assimilation and glutathione metabolism under cadmium stress in yeast, protists and plants.

TL;DR: The biochemical and genetic mechanisms involved in the regulation of sulfate assimilation-reduction and GSH metabolism when yeast, plants and protists are challenged by Cd(2+) are reviewed.
