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 …

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 …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) plants were exposed to drought to examine the involvement of
carbon metabolism and oxidative stress in the decline of nitrogenase (N2ase) activity …

Legume root nodules are sites of intense biochemical activity and consequently are at high
risk of damage as a result of the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive …

Drought provokes a number of physiological changes in plants including oxidative damage.
Ascorbic acid (AsA), also known as vitamin C, is one of the most abundant water-soluble …

Nodulation of soybean (Glycine max) root hairs by the nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacterium
Bradyrhizobium japonicum is a complex process coordinated by the mutual exchange of …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can improve plant performance in many different
ways, operating via a multitude of physiological, molecular, and biochemical pathways. One …

Over recent years, the pathways for the biosynthesis of many vitamins have been elucidated
at the molecular level in plants, and several unique features are emerging. One is that the …

Legume nodules are symbiotic structures formed as a result of the interaction with rhizobia.
Nodules fix atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia that is assimilated by the plant and this …
