Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is a usual phenomenon in a plant both under a
normal and stressed condition. However, under unfavorable or adverse conditions, ROS …

Vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) is an excellent free radical scavenger, not only for its capability to
donate reducing equivalents but also for the relative stability of the derived …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Under conditions of abiotic stress several physiological and biochemical processes in plants
can be modified. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is toxic at high …

Sunburn is a physiological disorder that affects the visual and organoleptic properties of
grapes. The appearance of brown and necrotic spots severely affects the commercial value …

Plant central metabolism generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are key
regulators that mediate signalling pathways involved in developmental processes and plant …

Significance: The concept that vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) is at the heart of the peroxide

Ascorbate is a widespread and efficient antioxidant that has multiple functions in plants,
traditionally associated with the reactions of photosynthesis. This review aims to look at …

Tartaric acid (TA) is an obscure end point to the catabolism of ascorbic acid (Asc). Here, it is
proposed as a “specialized primary metabolite”, originating from carbohydrate metabolism …

Berries of the cultivated grapevine Vitis vinifera are notably responsive to temperature,
