Transcript profiling of glutathione metabolizing genes reveals abiotic stress and glutathione-specific alteration in Arabidopsis and rice.

ABSTRACT: Homoeostasis of glutathione (GSH) is crucial for plant survival and adaptability against stress. Despite the presence of complete Arabidopsis and rice genome sequence, the comprehensive analysis of the GSH metabolizing genes is still missing. This research concentrated on the comprehensive understanding of GSH metabolizing genes in two model plants-Arabidopsis and rice in terms of their subcellular localization, exon-intron distribution, protein domain structure, and transcript abundance. Expression profiling using the microarray data provided significant evidence of their participation in response to various abiotic stress conditions. Besides, some of these GSH metabolizing genes revealed their expression alteration in several developmental changes and tissue diversification
