Peroxisomal Monodehydroascorbate Reductase. Genomic Clone Characterization and Functional Analysis under Environmental Stress Conditions [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2005 Abstract In plant cells, ascorbate is a major antioxidant that is involved in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle. Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR) is the enzymatic component of this cycle involved in the regeneration of reduced ascorbate.

Antioxidant Systems are Regulated by Nitric Oxide-Mediated Post-translational Modifications (NO-PTMs) [PDF]
, 2016 Nitric oxide (NO) is a biological messenger that orchestrates a plethora of plant functions, mainly through post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as S-nitrosylation or tyrosine nitration.

Monodehydroascorbate reductase activity in the surface membrane of leukemic cells [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1993 A transmembrane monodehydroascorbate reductase activity with a high affinity in the subpicomolar concentration range of the free radical can be measured at the surface of erythroleukemic cells using a ferricyanide‐driven redox cycle. The activity is dependent on the membrane potential and can therefore only be found in intact cells.

12-oxophytodienoic acid reductase 3 (OPR3) functions as NADPH-dependent α,β-ketoalkene reductase in detoxification and monodehydroascorbate reductase in redox homeostasis [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2019 AbstractArabidopsis (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 acid synthesis is not strictly dependent on the peroxisomal OPR3.

Exogenous low-dose hydrogen peroxide enhances drought tolerance of soybean (Glycine max L.) through inducing antioxidant system [PDF]
, 2016 Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) functions as a signal molecule in plants under abiotic and biotic stress. In this study, the role of exogenous H2O2 in improving drought tolerance in two soybean cultivars (Glycine max L.
