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.

Regulation of sulfate transport and synthesis of sulfur-containing amino acids.

TL;DR: This work states that O-acetylserine and glutathione presumably act within the cysteine synthesis pathway as derepressor and repressor, respectively, and a unique autoregulatory mechanism that stabilizes mRNA levels has recently been proposed for the regulation of methionine synthesis.

Seasonal Variation in the Antioxidant System of Eastern White Pine Needles Evidence for Thermal Dependence

TL;DR: The needle content and kinetic properties of GR, the increased activities of other enzymes, and the high substrate concentrations observed during the winter are consistent with the protective function this pathway may provide against photooxidative, winter injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptome Profiling of Sulfur-Responsive Genes in Arabidopsis Reveals Global Effects of Sulfur Nutrition on Multiple Metabolic Pathways

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have isolated a T-DNA insertion allele defective in the SULTR1;2 sulfate transporter, sel1-10, which is allelic with the sel 1 mutants identified previously in a screen for increased tolerance to selenate, a toxic analog of sulfate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant enzymatic activity is linked to waterlogging stress tolerance in citrus

TL;DR: Data indicate that the protective role of proline has to be considered minimal as its accumulation was inversely correlated with tolerance to the stress, and the early accumulation of MDA seems to be associated to an impaired ability for H2O2 scavenging.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure of the flavoenzyme glutathione reductase.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of the dimeric flavoenzyme glutathione reductase from human erythrocytes has been elucidated by an X-ray diffraction analysis at 0.3 nm resolution.
