The Role of Glutathione and Glutathione S-transferases in Plant Reaction and Adaptation to Xenobiotics

  • Chapter
Significance of Glutathione to Plant Adaptation to the Environment

Part of the book series: Plant Ecophysiology ((KLEC,volume 2))

Conclusions

Glutathione S-transferase and glutathione interact perfectly in protecting plants from electrophilic xenobiotics and endogenous toxic compounds. They are also involved into hormone metabolism and internal signal cascades. The enzyme class shows high flexibility and represents the starting point of a well developed metabolic pathway for the degradation and excretion of xenobiotic conjugates. Genomics and proteomics will provide more insight in the presence and activity of the GSTs in plants, and most important at all, about natural functions and their modulation under stress. Thus, glutathione and glutathione mediated metabolism of xenobiotics and agro-chemicals play an important role in the adaptation of plants to the environment and to a man made pollution climate.
