Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a key factor in abiotic stresses; excess ROS is harmful to plants. Glutathione reductase (GR) plays an important role in scavenging ROS in plants. Here, aGRgene, namedSpGR, was cloned fromStipa purpureaand characterized. The full-length open reading frame was 1497 bp, encoding 498 amino acids. Subcellular localization analysis indicated that SpGR was localized to both the plasma membrane and nucleus. The expression ofSpGRwas induced by cold, salt, and drought stresses. Functional analysis indicated that ectopic expression of SpGR inArabidopsis thalianaresulted in greater tolerance to salt stress than that of wild-type plants, but no difference under cold or drought treatments. The results of GR activity and GSSG and GSH content analyses suggested that, under salt stress, transgenic plants produced more GR to reduce GSSG to GSH for scavenging ROS than wild-type plants. Therefore,SpGRmay be a candidate gene for plants to resist abiotic stress.
