Crucial roles in sulphur metabolism and plant defence have been described
in recent years for the tripeptide thiol glutathione. In spite of this, the
metabolism of glutathione and its response to stress conditions remained
only partly understood. In many plants, one of the major difficulties in
studying the control of glutathione synthesis is the low extractable
activities of the enzymes involved. Consequently, several groups have
exploited transformation technology using genes for the enzymes of
glutathione synthesis or reduction. This approach has allowed the
production of plants with systematically enhanced levels of glutathione (up
to 4-fold higher than untransformed controls) and has permitted numerous
insights into the control of glutathione synthesis or reduction state and
its interaction with other areas of primary or defensive
metabolism.Keywords: Oxidative stress,
photorespiration, glutathione, ascorbate, poplar.
