Abstract: Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are non-heme peroxidases catalyzing the reduction of H2O2 or organic hydroperoxides to water or corresponding alcohols using glutathione (GSH) or thioredoxin (TRX) as a reducing agent. In contrast to animal GPXs, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology11030459
Abstract: Simple Summary Fungi are well equipped to cope with oxidative stress and the reactive oxygen species that are, in the case of phytopathogens, produced mainly by the plant host for defence purposes. Peroxidases represent the… read more here.
