Glutathione, a tripeptide with the sequence γ-Glu-Cys-Gly, exists either in a reduced form
with a free thiol group or in an oxidized form with a disulfide between two identical …

Glutathione is a simple sulfur compound composed of three amino acids and the major non-
protein thiol in many organisms, including plants. The functions of glutathione are manifold …

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

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 …

Abstract Glutathione (GSH; γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) is a small intracellular thiol
molecule which is considered as a strong non-enzymatic antioxidant. Glutathione regulates …

Significance: In photosynthetic organisms, besides the well-established disulfide/dithiol
exchange reactions specifically controlled by thioredoxins (TRXs), protein S …

Formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a common feature of abiotic and biotic stress
reactions. ROS need to be detoxified to avoid deleterious reactions, but at the same time, the …

In higher plants, the redox-active tripeptide glutathione (GSH) fulfills a plethora of functions.
These include its pivotal role for maintaining the cellular redox poise and its involvement in …

Protein S-glutathionylation, the reversible formation of a mixed-disulfide between
glutathione and protein thiols, is involved in protection of protein cysteines from irreversible …

Glutathione is a thiol-containing tripeptide, which appears to be present in nearly all living
organisms and which is involved in many important metabolic and physiological processes …
