Alterations in Soluble Class III Peroxidases of Maize Shoots by Flooding Stress
Due to changing climate, flooding (waterlogged soils and submergence) becomes a major problem in agriculture and crop production. In the present study, the effect of waterlogging was investigated on peroxidases of maize (Zea mays L.) leaves.

Inactivation Mechanism of Ascorbate Peroxidase at Low Concentrations of Ascorbate; Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposes Compound I of Ascorbate Peroxidase [PDF]
One of the characteristic properties of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), which distinguishes it from guaiacol peroxidase, Cyt c peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase, is the rapid inactivation of the enzyme under conditions where an electron donor is absent. When thylakoid-bound APX (tAPX) in 100 f/M ascorbate was diluted 500-fold with an ascorbate-depleted

Differential involvement of ascorbate and guaiacol peroxidases in soybean drought resistance
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a small but growing component of the agricultural economy of South Africa and is predicted to become a major crop in Africa because of its high protein content. Drought induction at flowering or early stages of pod development

Effects of mixed saline and alkaline stress on the morphology and anatomy of Pisum sativum L.: The role of peroxidase and ascorbate oxidase in growth regulation [PDF]
The effects of hyperalkaline, thermo-mineral water from Slatina on the morphology and anatomy of pea plants (Pisum sativum L.), were examined after eleven days of treatment with a mixture of tap water and Slatina water in 3:1 (T1) and 1:1 ratios (T2).

The Antioxidants of Legume Nodule Mitochondria
The mitochondria of legume root nodules are critical to sustain the energy-intensive process of nitrogen fixation. They also generate reactive oxygen species at high rates and thus require the protection of antioxidant enzymes and metabolites.

Stromal Ascorbate Peroxidase (OsAPX7) Modulates Drought Stress Tolerance in Rice (Oryza sativa)
Chloroplast ascorbate peroxidases exert an important role in the maintenance of hydrogen peroxide levels in chloroplasts by using ascorbate as the specific electron donor.

SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF ASCORBIC ACID BY HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE [PDF]
L-ascorbic acid is one of the essential nutrients and most common food supplements, fortificants, and preservatives. It is commercially available as solutions, drops, tablets, capsules, crystal powder, beverage mixtures, multivitamin formulations, and multi antioxidant formulations. The usual daily dose is from 25 mg to 1.5 g.

Gene knockout study reveals that cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase 2(OsAPX2) plays a critical role in growth and reproduction in rice under drought, salt and cold stresses. [PDF]
Plant ascorbate peroxidases (APXs), enzymes catalyzing the dismutation of H2O2 into H2O and O2, play an important role in reactive oxygen species homeostasis in plants.
