Abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, clilling, heavy metal are the major limiting factors
for crop productivity. These stresses induce the overproduction of reactive oxygen species …

In plants, exposure to temperature extremes, heavy metal-contaminated soils, drought, air
pollutants, and pathogens results in the generation of reactive oxygen species that alter the …

The glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide (GSSG) redox couple is involved in several
physiologic processes in plants under both optimal and stress conditions. It participates in …

Introduction to Proteins provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art introduction to the
structure, function, and motion of proteins for students, faculty, and researchers at all levels …

Glutathione biosynthesis is a key component in the network of plant stress responses that
counteract oxidative damage and maintain intracellular redox environment. Using a …

Glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in cadmium (Cd) tolerance in woody plants, but
the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. To elucidate the physiological and …

Sulfur is an essential element for all organisms. Plants must assimilate this nutrient from the
environment and convert it into metabolically useful forms for the biosynthesis of a wide …

Sulfur is essential for plant growth and development, and the molecular systems for
maintaining sulfur and thiol metabolism are tightly controlled. From a biochemical …

Covering: 1966 to 2012 Sulfur is an essential element that must be assimilated by all
organisms; however, the metabolic pathways for this task vary significantly, even among …

Sulfur is an essential plant nutrient and is metabolized into the sulfur-containing amino acids
(cysteine and methionine) and into molecules that protect plants against oxidative and …
