“…Expression profile by qRT-PCR analysis revealed that most of the putative active TdGLYI genes were up-regulated by salt and osmotic stress in roots and shoots from 4-day-old seedlings, although a different behavior was observed between the two types of stress and tissue. Accordingly, in the same tissues, hyperosmotic stress induced an increase (up to about 40%) of both GLYI activity and MG content as well as a decrease of GSH (up to about –60%) and an increase of GSSG content (up to about 7-fold) with a consequent strong decrease of the GSH/GSSG ratio (up to about –95%). …”
