Glutathione biosynthesis in Arabidopsis trichome cells. Gutierrez-Alcala G, Gotor C, Meyer AJ, Fricker M, Vega JM, Romero LC. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2000 Sep 26;97(20):11108-13.
...... in trichomes, we have extended our studies in trichome cells to determine their capacity for glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis. First, we have analyzed by in situ hybridization the tissue-specific expression of the genes Atcys-3A and sat5, which encode O-acetylserine(thio)lyase (OASTL) and serine acetyltransferase (SAT), respectively, as well as gsh1 and gsh2, which encode gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase and glutathione synthetase, respectively. The four genes are highly ......
