Glutathione Deficiency in Sinorhizobium meliloti Does Not Impair Bacteroid Differentiation But Induces Early Senescence in the Interaction With Medicago truncatula

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Under nitrogen-limiting conditions, legumes are able to interact symbiotically with bacteria of the Rhizobiaceae family. This interaction gives rise to a new organ, named a root nodule. Root nodules are characterized by an increased glutathione (GSH) and

Redox Properties of Human Erythrocytes Are Adapted for Vitamin C Recycling

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Ascorbic acid (AA; or vitamin C) is an important physiological antioxidant and radical scavenger. Some mammalian species, including homo sapiens, have lost the ability to synthetize AA and depend on its nutritional uptake.
