Missing links in understanding redox signaling via thiol/disulfide modulation: How is glutathione oxidized in plants?

Glutathione is a small redox-active molecule existing in two main stable forms: the thiol (GSH) and the disulphide (GSSG). In plants growing in optimal conditions, the GSH:GSSG ratio is high in most cell compartments. Challenging environmental conditions are known to alter this ratio, notably by ind...
