Molecular cloning, in-silico characterization and functional validation of monodehydroascorbate reductase gene in Eleusine coracana. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Ascorbic acid is a ubiquitous water soluble antioxidant that plays a critical role in plant growth and environmental stress tolerance. It acts as a free radical scavenger as well as a source of reducing power for several cellular processes.

The interplay between virus infection and water-related stress is mediated by the plant metabolism of ascorbic acid. [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytol
Summary Plants are often subjected to environmental variations in the context of infection such that virus‐induced and abiotic stresses co‐occur. One such environmental variation is water stress, which strongly impacts plant fitness. Although there is ample evidence of the beneficial effects of plant viruses under drought, the consequences of infection

New role for thioredoxins in plants: Implication of TRXo1 in protein depersulfidation [PDF]

open access: yesRedox Biology
Persulfidation, a posttranslational modification of cysteines to persulfides, is the best characterized molecular mechanism of H2S signaling. This study is focused on new functions for thioredoxins (TRXs) in plants beyond those of thiol disulfide (S–S ...

Maintaining nitrogen balance under salt stress through enhanced nodule function and antioxidative defense in chickpea [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Salinity is a major environmental stress that adversely affects plant growth, nodulation and nitrogen (N) metabolism. This study investigated the physiological and biochemical responses of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under saline conditions ...

Nitric oxide in plants: the roles of ascorbate and hemoglobin. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Ascorbic acid and hemoglobins have been linked to nitric oxide metabolism in plants. It has been hypothesized that ascorbic acid directly reduces plant hemoglobin in support of NO scavenging, producing nitrate and monodehydroascorbate.

Dataset on antioxidant system of non-model halophytes Urochondra setulosa and Dichanthium annulatum in saline environment

open access: yesData in Brief, 2023
The antioxidant potential of halophytes, Dichanthium annulatum and Urochondra setulosa, was examined under the influence of high salinity. These halophytes were grown in lysimeters filled with saline soil and further irrigated with saline water to ...

High Throughput Analyses of Ascorbate-turnover Enzyme Activities in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Seedlings

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2021
Ascorbate (Vitamin C) fulfills various functions in plant photosynthesis and abiotic stress tolerance. The four key enzymes involved in the ascorbate-turnover pathway are ascorbate peroxidase, ascorbate oxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, and ...
