The thiol-disulfide exchange activity of AtPDI1 is involved in the response to abiotic stresses

Abstract Background Arabidopsis protein disulfide isomerase 1 (AtPDI1) has been demonstrated to have disulfide isomerase activity and to be involved in the stress response. However, whether the anti-stress function is directly related to the activities of thiol-disulfide exchange remains to be eluci...
