Abstract excerpt
Cadmium (Cd) toxicity causes oxidative stress damage in plant cells. Glutaredoxins (GRXs), a type of small oxidoreductase, play a crucial role in modulating thiol redox states. However, whether GRXs act in Cd stress remains to be identified. Here, we reveal that Arabidopsis GRX480, a member of the CC-type family, enhances plant Cd stress tolerance. The GRX480 mutants exhibit enhanced sensitivity to Cd stress,...
