glutamylcysteinyl
glycine) is an abundant and ubiquitous thiol with proposed roles in the
storage and transport of reduced sulphur, the synthesis of proteins and
nucleic acids and as a modulator of enzyme activity. The level of
glutathione has also been shown to correlate with the adaptation of plants
to extremes of temperature, in the tolerance of plants to xenobiotics and
to biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. In addition, the size of the
reduced glutathione pool shows marked alterations in response to a number
of environmental conditions. Taken together, these findings have prompted
intense efforts to characterize in detail the mechanisms underlying
glutathione homeostasis in plants and to elucidate the role of these
responses in the strategies plants have evolved to adapt to environmental
stresses. The aim of this review is to assess recent biochemical,
molecular, genetic, and physiological advances which are increasing our
understanding of the mechanisms by which plant glutathione homeostasis is
controlled and the role of glutathione in the integration of cellular
processes with plant growth and development under
stress.Keywords: Glutathione, cloning, mutant, spatial
mapping, plant development, stress.
