Background In dry and semi-arid areas, salinity is the most serious hazard to agriculture,
which can affect plant growth and development adversely. Over-accumulation of Na+ in …

This chapter proposes that whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as signal transducing
or damaging molecules is mainly dependent on their quality and second, on their quantity …

Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an important nutrient for human health and disease cures, and it is
also a crucial indicator for the quality of fruit and vegetables. As a reductant, AsA plays a …

The use of elicitors or biostimulants such as salicylic acid (SA) is an emerging novel practice
to improve the yield and quality of crops since it plays an important role in the regulation of …

The aim of this study is to assess the role of l-cysteine desulfhydrase (l-DES) and
endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in glutathione (GSH)-induced tolerance to salinity …

Myo‐inositol oxygenase (MIOX) is the first enzyme in the inositol route to ascorbate (L‐
ascorbic acid, AsA, vitamin C). We have previously shown that Arabidopsis plants …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important and widely cultivated fruit.
By characterizing local germplasm, exclusive breeding material is successfully identified …

Premise AVP1 (H+‐pyrophosphatase) and MIOX4 (myo‐inositol oxygenase) are genes that,
when overexpressed individually, enhance the growth and abiotic stress tolerance of …

Tomato fruits are a unique functional food and a natural reservoir of nutrients, antioxidants,
vitamins and bioactive compounds that improve nutrition and human health. As an important …

Biosynthesis of l-ascorbate (AsA) in plants is carried out by a complex metabolic network,
which involves d-mannose/l-galactose, d-galacturonate, l-gulose, and myo-inositol as main …
