Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by metabolic pathways in almost all cells. As
signaling components, ROS are best known for their roles in abiotic and biotic stress-related …

The discovery that there is a close relationship between ascorbate and glutathione dates
from soon after the characterization of the chemical formulae of the two molecules (Szent …

Plants exposed to sub-lethal abiotic stress conditions exhibit a broad range of morphogenic
responses. Despite the diversity of phenotypes, a generic 'stress-induced morphogenic …

The root system is fundamentally important for plant growth and survival because of its role
in water and nutrient uptake. Therefore, plants rely on modulation of root system architecture …

Progress in improving abiotic stress tolerance of crop plants using classic breeding and
selection approaches has been slow. This has generally been blamed on the lack of reliable …

Significance: The concept that vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) is at the heart of the peroxide
processing and redox signaling hub in plants is well established, but our knowledge of the …

Plant growth is mediated by cell proliferation and expansion. Both processes are controlled
by a network of endogenous factors such as phytohormones, reactive oxygen species …

Metal subcellular fractions and chemical profile highly reflect their level of toxicity to plants.
Cadmium and Cu, two different but potentially toxic metals, were compared in the present …

It is widely accepted that the predominant ascorbate biosynthesis pathway in green plants is
via GDP-mannose and l-galactose. d-galacturonic, d-glucuronic acid and GDP-l-gulose …

Abstract l-Galactono-1, 4-lactone dehydrogenase (EC 1.3. 2.3) catalyzes the last step in the
main pathway of vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) biosynthesis in higher plants. In this study, we …
