Ascorbate-glutathione cycle and thioredoxin system are involved in nitric oxide alleviating excess nitrate stress in tomato seedlings

, 2023
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. The exogenous NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) increased the plant height, root length, and biomass of tomato seedlings under nitrate stress, especially 100 ...

Evolution of substrate specificity in the Nucleobase-Ascorbate Transporter (NAT) protein family [PDF]

, 2018
L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an essential metabolite in animals and plants due to its role as an enzyme co-factor and antioxidant activity. In most eukaryotic organisms, L-ascorbate is biosynthesized enzymatically, but in several major groups ...

Comparative Analysis of Antioxidant Accumulation under Cold Acclimation, Deacclimation and Reacclimation in Winter Wheat

Plants, 2022
Low temperature during cold acclimation (CA) leads to the accumulation of detrimental reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant tissues, which are scavenged by antioxidants, such as ascorbate and glutathione.

Reduced Plasma Ascorbate and Increased Proportion of Dehydroascorbic Acid Levels in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Life, 2021
Ascorbate functions as an electron donor and scavenges free radicals. Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), the oxidized form of ascorbate, is generated as a result of these reactions.

Intravenous Vitamin C for Cancer Therapy – Identifying the Current Gaps in Our Knowledge

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The use of intravenous vitamin C (IVC) for cancer therapy has long been an area of intense controversy. Despite this, high dose IVC has been administered for decades by complementary health care practitioners and physicians, with little evidence base ...

Pyrophosphate levels strongly influence ascorbate and starch content in tomato fruit

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Ascorbate (vitamin C) deficiency leads to low immunity, scurvy, and other human diseases and is therefore a global health problem. Given that plants are major ascorbate sources for humans, biofortification of this vitamin in our foodstuffs is of ...
