Methylglyoxal (MG) is one of the aldehydes that accumulate in plants under environmental stress. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play important roles, including detoxification, in the stress tolerance systems of plants. To determine the effects of MG, we characterized recombinant GST. MG decreased GST activity and thiol contents with increasing K m. GST can serve as a target of MG modification, which is suppressed by application of reduced glutathione.

Methylglyoxal inhibition of cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase from Nicotiana tabacum

The present study suggests that inhibition of APX is in part due to the modification of amino acids by MG, which resulted in a reduction ofAPX activity and modifications of amino groups in rNtcAPX with increasing Km for ascorbate.

Glyoxalase System: A Glutathione-Dependent Pathway for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants

Light is shed on the dependence of the glyoxalase pathway on GSH as the key player in regulating the pathway and in maintaining a higher “reduced to oxidized” GSH ratio.

Methylglyoxal: An Emerging Signaling Molecule in Plant Abiotic Stress Responses and Tolerance

MG is now considered as a potential biochemical marker for plant abiotic stress tolerance, and is receiving considerable attention by the scientific community, and the concept of MG signaling is evaluated.

Methylglyoxal induces inhibition of growth, accumulation of anthocyanin, and activation of glyoxalase I and II in Arabidopsis thaliana

MG can reduce plant growth as a toxic molecule and can stimulate stress responses as a signal molecule under stress conditions.

Coordinated Actions of Glyoxalase and Antioxidant Defense Systems in Conferring Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants

A novel glyoxalase enzyme has been detected in plants, providing a shorter pathway for MG detoxification, which is also a signpost in the research of abiotic stress tolerance.

An insight is provided to the role of MG and glyoxalases in plant stress response with special mention about the possible involvement of MG in signaling pathway.

The Glyoxalase System: A Possible Target for Production of Salinity-Tolerant Crop Plants

This chapter summarizes the current knowledge and understanding of MG and the glyoxalase pathway, with respect to salinity stress tolerance and the potential for use of genetic engineering of gly oxalase genes into crop plants to improve crop yields under salt stress.
