NaCl stress may evolve certain strategies to remove these ROS, thus reducing their toxic
effects. Therefore, the expression patterns of the gene family encoding glutathione
reductase (GR, EC 1.6. 4.2) were analyzed in roots of etiolated rice (Oryza sativa L.)
seedlings in response to NaCl stress. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was applied to quantify the
mRNA levels for one cytosolic (OsGR2) and two chloroplastic (OsGR1 and OsGR3) isoforms …
