Enhancing Tolerance to Combined Heat and Drought Stress in Cool‐Season Grain Legumes: Mechanisms, Genetic Insights, and Future Directions

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3848-3870, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of concurrent heat and drought stress poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, particularly for cool‐season grain legumes, including broad bean (Vicia Faba L.), lupin (Lupinus spp.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.), pea (Pisum sativum L ...

Melatonin Improves Heat Tolerance in Kiwifruit Seedlings through Promoting Antioxidant Enzymatic Activity and Glutathione S-Transferase Transcription

Molecules, 2018
Evidence exists to suggest that melatonin (MT) is important to abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Here, we investigated whether exogenous MT reduces heat damage on biological parameters and gene expression in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) seedlings ...

Roles of exogenous glutathione in antioxidant defense system and methylglyoxal detoxification during salt stress in mung bean

Biologia Plantarum, 2015
The protective roles of glutathione (GSH) applied on salt stress-affected mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) seedlings were studied. The salt stress (200 mM NaCl) significantly increased the malondialdehyde (MDA), methylglyoxal (MG), H2O2, and proline (Pro ...

Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle Genes Families in Euphorbiaceae: Characterization and Evolutionary Analysis

Biology, 2022
Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), Monodehydroascorbate Reductase (MDAR), Dehydroascorbate Reductase (DHAR) and Glutathione Reductase (GR) enzymes participate in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, which exerts a central role in the antioxidant metabolism in ...

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Exogenous Glutathione and Nitric Oxide Improve Waterlogging Stress Tolerance in Maize

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Exogenous glutathione (GSH) and nitric oxide (NO) enhance waterlogging tolerance in maize seedlings by reducing oxidative damage and improving growth. Combined GSH + NO treatment reduces H2O2 and malondialdehyde levels, enhances antioxidant defenses, protects photosynthetic pigments, and promotes biomass accumulation, thereby improving the ...

Exogenous glutathione attenuates lead-induced oxidative stress in wheat by improving antioxidant defense and physiological mechanisms

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2018
This study aims at investigate how exogenous glutathione (GSH, 1.0 mM) affects the oxidative stress and antioxidant defense in wheat seedlings under lead (Pb) stress [0.5 and 1.0 mM Pb(NO3)2]. Lead treatment decreased growth, leaf relative water content,

Properties of Monodehydroascorbate Reductase and Dehydroascorbate Reductase and Their Participation in the Regeneration of Ascorbate in Euglena gracilis [PDF]

Microbiology, 1987
The partially purified monodehydroascorbate reductase (EC 1.6.5.4) from Euglena gracilis Z showed a pH optimum of 7.0 and a temperature optimum of 41 °C, and had an M r of 52000. Activity was threefold higher with N ADPH than with N ADH; the K m values for N ADPH and NADH were 7 and 210 μm, respectively.

Environmental stress reveals new insights regarding proteome rebalancing in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 2, April 2026.
SUMMARY Seeds are resilient to genetic and envirxonmental perturbation. For example, they can compensate for the loss of highly abundant seed storage proteins (SSPs) while maintaining amino acid levels and composition, a process known as proteome rebalancing.

Role of antioxidative system during the development and senescence of cucumber fruit

Biologia Plantarum, 2012
The oxidative processes and antioxidative system in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) fruit were determined during development and senescence. Four distinct developmental stages could be delineated during fruit maturation: immature (3-8 d after anthesis, DAA)
