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 …

In this study, the metabolic and physiological impacts of an altered microclimate on quality-
associated primary and secondary metabolites in grape (Vitis vinifera)'Sauvignon …

The quality characteristics of a certain grapevine cultivar are determined by the
combinatorial action of the genotype and environmental factors, such as soil, landscape and …

Ascorbic acid (AsA) has high antioxidant activities, and its biosynthesis has been well
studied by engineering of a single structural gene (SG) in staple crops, such as tomato …

Anthocyanins exist widely in various plant tissues and organs, and they play an important
role in plant reproduction, disease resistance, stress resistance, and protection of human …

Introduction Along the altitude, environmental conditions vary significantly that might
influence plant performance and distribution. Adaptation to these changing conditions is a …

Vitis vinifera is a deciduous woody vine of the genus Vitis. Its fruit is sweet, nutritious, and
well-liked by consumers. Consumer demand for grape quality is growing as people's living …

Understanding how the fruit microclimate affects ascorbate (AsA) biosynthesis, oxidation
and recycling is a great challenge in improving fruit nutritional quality. For this purpose …

Background The acid component of grape berries, originating in the metabolism of malate
