Overexpression of Mn-superoxide dismutase in maize leaves leads to increased monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase activities [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2000 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.

A Direct Demonstration of the Catalytic Action of Monodehydroascorbate Reductase by Pulse Radiolysis [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995 To elucidate the catalytic mechanism of monodehydroascorbate (MDA) reductase from cucumber, its interaction with MDA radical was investigated by the use of pulse radiolysis. When approximately equimolar MDA radical to the fully reduced MDA reductase was generated, the fully reduced enzyme reacted first with MDA radical to form the red semiquinone, and ...

Existing antioxidant levels are more important in acclimation to supplemental UV-B irradiation than inducible ones: Studies with high light pretreated tobacco leaves [PDF]
, 2012 Greenhouse grown tobacco plants were exposed to supplemental ultraviolet irradiation (280-400 nm, UV-B centered) for 6 days and changes in their photosynthesis (gas exchange and electron transport) and general and specific antioxidant activities were ...

Molecular Characterization of Monodehydroascorbate Radical Reductase from Cucumber Highly Expressed in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995 Monodehydroascorbate radical (MDA) reductase, an FAD-enzyme, is the first enzyme to be identified whose substrate is an organic radical and catalyzes the reduction of MDA to ascorbate by NAD(P)H. Its cDNA has been cloned from cucumber seedlings (Sano, S., and Asada, K. (1994) Plant Cell Physiol.
