Humic Acid Enhances Antioxidant and Glyoxalase Systems to Combat Copper Toxicity in Citrus by Wei-Tao Huang, Xu-Feng Chen, Wei-Lin Huang, Qian Shen, Fei Lu, Ning-Wei Lai, Jiuxin Guo, Lin-Tong Yang, Xin Ye, Li-Song Chen

“…The addition of HA reduced the Cu400-induced production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species and methylglyoxal and alleviated the impairment of Cu400 to the antioxidant defense system (ascorbate-glutathione cycle, antioxidant enzymes, sulfur-containing compounds, and sulfur-metabolizing enzymes) and glyoxalase system in roots and leaves. The HA-mediated amelioration of Cu toxicity involved reduced oxidative injury due to the coordination of strengthened antioxidant defense and glyoxalase systems. …”
