Abstract:

Plant GSTs played important roles in plant defense. The elucidation of GSTs function and mechanism in defense response will provide practical and theoretical basis for crop broad-spectrum and durable resistance breeding. The classification and structure of plant glutathione transferases was summarized, and the basic functions were concluded. The important roles of GSTs against biotic and abiotic stresses were analyzed, and the questions of GSTs researches in present were also suggested.
