Plant glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are ubiquitous and multifunctional enzymes
encoded by large gene families. A characteristic feature of GST genes is their high …

Drought is considered to cause oxidative stress, but the roles of oxidant-induced
modifications in plant responses to water deficit remain obscure. Key unknowns are the …

Alternative splicing (AS) of precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) from multiexon genes allows
organisms to increase their coding potential and regulate gene expression through multiple …

In plant cells, as in most eukaryotic organisms, peroxisomes are probably the major sites of
intracellular H2O2 production, as a result of their essentially oxidative type of metabolism. In …

The discovery that there is a close relationship between ascorbate and glutathione dates
from soon after the characterization of the chemical formulae of the two molecules (Szent …

Plants cannot survive without glutathione (γ‐glutamylcysteinylglycine) or γ‐glutamylcysteine‐
containing homologues. The reasons why this small molecule is indispensable are not fully …

Oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are common to many fundamental
responses of plants. Enormous and ever‐growing interest has focused on this research …

The plant glutathione peroxidase (GPX) family consists of multiple isoenzymes with distinct
subcellular locations which exhibit different tissue-specific expression patterns and …

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important signal molecule involved in plant
development and environmental responses. Changes in H2O2 availability can result from …

Significance The multifaceted functions of reduced glutathione (gamma-glutamyl–cysteinyl–
glycine; GSH) continue to fascinate plants and animal scientists, not least because of the …
