Exogenous α-lipoic acid mitigates lead (Pb) toxicity in tomato seedlings by regulating metabolites, nutrient uptake, antioxidant defense and redox balance maintenance [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceWater contamination with heavy metals drastically affects plant growth and development. It is more dangerous than other contamination sources due to its cumulative impact over time through plant irrigation.

Melatonin increases the chilling tolerance of chloroplast in cucumber seedlings by regulating photosynthetic electron flux and the ascorbate-glutathione cycle [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The aim of the study was to monitor the effects of exogenous melatonin on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) chloroplasts and explore the mechanisms through which it mitigates chilling stress. Under chilling stress, chloroplast structure was seriously damaged

Expression of Heterologous OsDHAR Gene Improves Glutathione (GSH)-Dependent Antioxidant System and Maintenance of Cellular Redox Status in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942. [PDF]
, 2020 An excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause severe oxidative damage to cellular components in photosynthetic cells. Antioxidant systems, such as the glutathione (GSH) pools, regulate redox status in cells to guard against such damage ...
