Glutathione is a thiol-containing tripeptide, which appears to be
present in nearly all living organisms and which is involved in
many important metabolic and physiological processes. The present
volume focuses on the biological significance of glutathione in
plants. The biochemistry and the metabolism of glutathione are
reviewed, and its role in sulphur and selenium metabolism in plants
is discussed. The significance of glutathione and of
glutathione-related enzymes in the adaptation to natural stress,
heavy metals, xenobiotics, air pollution, and in plant-pathogen and
plant-animal interactions are evaluated. The main aim of this
second volume in the series

Plant Ecophysiology is to
raise the interest of advanced students and junior researchers in
the role of glutathione in plants and to supply basic and
comprehensive information for scientists already working on related
topics.
