Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is one of the most abundant small-molecule thiols in plant cells. It is mainly synthesized in chloroplasts and cytosol, and must subsequently be transported to other organelles to carry out its biological functions. It is also transported in the phloem for long distances. Several plant glutathione transporters, which have been characterized for inter- and intracellular transport of glutathione from different species, have been described. In this chapter, biochemical characteristics for substrate transportation, expression patterns, and functions of 11 glutathione transporters from four plant species are reviewed.
