Role of Glutathione in Abiotic Stress Tolerance of Rice Plants

Author:Ching Huei Kao

Abstract:

    Glutathione (GSH), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) are important components of scavenging system for reactive oxygen species in plants. The importance of glutathione and its related enzymes in rice plants in response to abiotic stresses is reviewed. Evidence is provided to show that GSH plays critical role in tolerance to chilling, salinity, copper and cadmium excess, and herbicide treatment.

Key words:Glutathione, Glutathione peroxidase, Glutathione reductase, Glutathione S-transferase, Rice
