Simple Summary Environmental conditions are subject to unprecedented changes due to
recent progressive anthropogenic activities on our planet. Plants, as the frontline of food …

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 …

Ascorbic acid is synthesised by eukaryotes, the known exceptions being primates and some
other animal groups which have lost functional gulonolactone oxidase. Prokaryotes do not …

Microgreens are young, tender greens that are used to enhance the color, texture, or flavor
of salads and main dishes. They can be grown in small scales and indoors, making them …

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 global biomass production from agricultural farmlands is facing severe constraints from
abiotic stresses like soil salinization. Salinity-mediated stress triggered the overproduction of …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution renders many soils across the world unsuited or unsafe for food-or
feed-orientated agriculture. The main mechanism of Cd phytotoxicity is the induction of …

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 …

Plant‐derived Vitamin C (l‐ascorbic acid (AsA)) is crucial for human health and wellbeing
and thus increasing AsA content is of interest to plant breeders. In plants GDP‐l‐galactose …

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 …
