“…Numerous literature have reported that G6PDH is involved in growth and development, such as oil and lipid accumulation, seed germination, and RNA biosynthesis [ 17 , 21 , 22 ]. Moreover, G6PDH responses to abiotic stresses such as drought [ 23 , 24 ], salt [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], metal [ 30 , 31 ], heat [ 32 ], cold [ 33 , 34 ], and so on; and in the dark, plastid G6PDH could provide NADPH instead of light reactions in the photosynthetic tissues [ 35 , 36 ]. Recently, studies of G6PDH mainly focus on its activity and gene expression, as well as the regulatory mechanism under various stresses, emphasizing the role of G6PDH in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis to enhance the tolerance to environmental stresses in plants.…”
