Distribution and Functions of Monodehydroascorbate Reductases in Plants: Comprehensive Reverse Genetic Analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana Enzymes [PDF]
Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR) is an enzyme involved in ascorbate recycling. Arabidopsis thaliana has five MDAR genes that encode two cytosolic, one cytosolic/peroxisomal, one peroxisomal membrane-attached, and one chloroplastic/mitochondrial ...

Monodehydroascorbate reductase mediates TNT toxicity in plants [PDF]
Bioremediation from disabled self-destructionExplosives used in mining, construction, or military operations leave behind contaminated soils. Although bioremediation could help, plants do not thrive on these soils. Johnstonet al.have now found out why (see the Perspective by Noctor).

Light‐dependent regulation of ascorbate in tomato by a monodehydroascorbate reductase localized in peroxisomes and the cytosol [PDF]
SummaryAscorbate is a powerful antioxidant in plants, and its levels are an important quality criteria in commercial species. Factors influencing these levels include environmental variations, particularly light, and the genetic control of its biosynthesis, recycling and degradation.

Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an abundant component of plants and acts as a strong and active antioxidant. In order to maintain the antioxidative capacity of AsA, the rapid regeneration of AsA is regulated by dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and ...

Overexpression of Mn-superoxide dismutase in maize leaves leads to increased monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase activities [PDF]
The effect of increased Mn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) on antioxidant enzymes and metabolites was studied using transformed maize, TG1+ and TG2+. The progeny of the backcross of each of the primary transformants with the parental line generated two populations denoted M6884 and M6885.

12-oxophytodienoic acid reductase 3 (OPR3) functions as NADPH-dependent α,β-ketoalkene reductase in detoxification and monodehydroascorbate reductase in redox homeostasis [PDF]
Abstract Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana ) 12-oxophytodienoic acid reductase isoform 3 (OPR3) is involved in the synthesis of jasmonic acid by reducing the α,β-unsaturated double bond of the cyclopentenone moiety in 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid. Recent research revealed that jasmonic

Cytosolic Monodehydroascorbate Reductase 2 Promotes Oxidative Stress Signaling in Arabidopsis
ABSTRACTThe antioxidative enzyme monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) is represented by five genes in Arabidopsis, including four that encode cytosolic and peroxisomal proteins. The in planta importance of these specific isoforms during oxidative stress remain to be characterised.

Iron-superoxide dismutase and monodehydroascorbate reductase transcripts accumulate in response to internode rubbing in tomato [PDF]
A cDNA encoding an iron-superoxide dismutase (Fe-SOD) was isolated by RACE-PCR from a Lycopersicon esculentum cDNA library. The Fe-SOD cDNA consists of a 746-bp open reading frame and is predicted to encode a protein of 249 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 27.9 kDa. The deduced

Kiwifruit Monodehydroascorbate Reductase 3 Gene Negatively Regulates the Accumulation of Ascorbic Acid in Fruit of Transgenic Tomato Plants. [PDF]
Ascorbic acid is a potent antioxidant and a crucial nutrient for plants and animals. The accumulation of ascorbic acid in plants is controlled by its biosynthesis, recycling, and degradation.
