Ascorbic Acid in Plant Growth, Development and Stress Tolerance

Ascorbic Acid in Plant Growth, Development and Stress Tolerance edited by Mohammad Anwar Hossain, Sergi Munné-Bosch, David J. Burritt, Pedro Diaz-Vivancos, Masayuki Fujita, Argelia Lorence.

Ascorbic acid (AsA), vitamin C, is one of the most abundant water-soluble antioxidant in plants and animals. In plants AsA serves as a major redox buffer and regulates various physiological processes controlling growth, development, and stress tolerance. Recent studies on AsA homeostasis have broade...
