Pesticides make indispensable contributions to agricultural productivity. However, the
residues after their excessive use may be harmful to crop production, food safety and human …

Glutathione-S transferase (GST) is a most ancient protein superfamily of multipurpose roles
and evolved principally from gene duplication of an ancestral GSH binding protein. They …

Metabolic fluctuations in chloroplasts and mitochondria can trigger retrograde signals to
modify nuclear gene expression. Mobile signals likely to be involved are reactive oxygen …

The introduction of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton has reduced the burden of pests without
harming the environment and human health. However, the efficacy of Bt cotton has …

From bacteria to plants and humans, the glutathione system plays a pleiotropic role in cell
defense against metabolic, oxidative and metal stresses. Glutathione (GSH), the γ-L …

Plant peroxisomes are highly dynamic organelles with regard to metabolic pathways,
number and morphology and participate in different metabolic processes and cell responses …

The isoenzyme of human glutathione transferase P1-1 (hGSTP1-1) is involved in multi-drug

Purple or black carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef) are characterized
by their dark purple-to black-colored roots, owing their appearance to high anthocyanin …

Cys-based redox regulation was long regarded a major adjustment mechanism of
photosynthesis and metabolism in plants, but in the recent years, its scope has broadened to …

Plants possess a robust metabolic network for sensing and controlling reactive oxygen
