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

Herbicide safeners are agricultural chemicals that protect crops from herbicide injury and
improve the safety of herbicides and the effectiveness of weed control. Safeners induce and …

The purpose of modern industrial herbicides is to control weeds. The species of weeds that
plague crops today are a consequence of the historical past, being related to the history of …

Plant genetic engineering has contributed substantially to the understanding of gene
regulation and plant development, in the generation of transgenic organisms for widespread …

Abstract The 55 Arabidopsis glutathione transferases (GSTs) are, with one microsomal
exception, a monophyletic group of soluble enzymes that can be divided into phi, tau, theta …

Cytokinin is a multifaceted plant hormone that plays major roles not only in diverse plant
growth and development processes, but also stress responses. We summarize knowledge …

When exposed to unfavorable environmental conditions, plants can absorb light energy in
excess of their photosynthetic capacities, with the surplus energy leading to the production …

Soluble plant glutathione transferases (GSTs) consist of seven distinct classes, six of which
have been functionally characterized. The phi and tau class GSTs are specific to plants and …
