The Role of Glutathione in Strengthening Plant Defense Against Pathogens
Introduction: Glutathione (GSH), often referred to as the “master antioxidant,” plays a crucial role in plant defense mechanisms. This small but powerful biomolecule not only contributes to plant growth and development but also enhances resistance against environmental stressors, particularly pathogens. Recent research highlights the intricate ways in which GSH interacts with various defense pathways to…

Pharmacological Carbonic Anhydrase Suppression Enhances Potato Defense Against Phytophthora Infestans
Introduction: Phytophthora infestans, the notorious oomycete responsible for late blight in potatoes, remains a significant threat to global agriculture. Recent research highlights the crucial role of carbonic anhydrase (CA) in plant defense mechanisms. This study explores how pharmacological suppression of CA activity influences nitric oxide (NO)-mediated defense pathways in potato leaves when challenged by P.…
