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 …

Throughout evolution, a number of animals including humans have lost the ability to
synthesize ascorbic acid (ascorbate, vitamin C), an essential molecule in the physiology of …

Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is a vital antioxidant widely found in plants. Plant
fruits are rich in ascorbic acid and are the primary source of human intake of ascorbic acid …

l‐Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is as essential to plants as it is to animals. Ascorbic acid functions
as a major redox buffer and as a cofactor for enzymes involved in regulating photosynthesis …

About 75% of seed total phosphorus (P) is found in a single compound, phytic acid (myo-
inositol-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexakisphosphate or InsP6). Phytic acid is not efficiently utilized by …

Myo-inositol is a versatile compound that generates diversified derivatives upon
phosphorylation by lipid-dependent and-independent pathways. Phosphatidylinositols form …

Plants synthesize ascorbate from guanosine diphosphate (GDP)‐mannose via l‐galactose/l‐
gulose, although uronic acids have also been proposed as precursors. Genes encoding all …

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 …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a well-studied model of fleshy fruit development and
ripening. Tomato fruit development is well understood from a hormonal-regulatory …

Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an essential multifaceted phytonutrient for both the human diet and
plant growth. Optimum levels of AsA accumulation combined with balanced redox …
