The Role of Ascorbic Acid in Growth, Differentiation and Metabolism of Plants

The Role of Ascorbic Acid in Growth, Differentiation and Metabolism of Plants edited by N.J. Chinoy.

There is a paucity of information on the dynamics of Ascorbic Acid (AA) turnover in relation to germination, metabolism, growth, differentiation and development of a plant and in those undergoing stress of various types. in presowing treatment of seeds etc. The turnover of AA plays an important role...
