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 …

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 …

In their natural environment plants and algae are exposed to rapidly changing light
conditions and light intensities. Illumination with high light intensities has the potential to …

Ascorbate (ASC) plays a critical role in plant stress response. The antioxidant role of ASC
has been well-studied, but there are still several confusing questions about the function of …

Plant metabolic engineering is commonly used in the production of functional foods and
quality trait improvement. However, to date, computational model-based approaches have …

Abstract Concepts regarding the operation of the ascorbate–glutathione cycle and the
associated water/water cycle in the processing of metabolically generated hydrogen …

Ascorbic acid plays an essential role in human health and its deficiency severely impacts
physical well-being. Fruits are a good dietary source of ascorbic acid and thereby, its …

Ascorbic acid (AsA) also known as vitamin C is considered as an essential micronutrient in
the diet of humans. The human body is unable to synthesize AsA, thus solely dependent on …

Plant growth and productivity are continually being challenged by a diverse array of abiotic
stresses, including: water scarcity, extreme temperatures, heavy metal exposure, and soil …
