Genetic determinants of Vitamin C content in higher plants
Fenech-Torres, Mario; Amorim-Silva, Vitor; Smirnoff, Nicholas; Valpuesta-Fernández, Victoriano
; Botella-Mesa, Miguel Ángel (2018-07-18)
Ascorbic acid (AsA, VitC) is the most abundant water-soluble antioxidant in plants and it plays a plethora of biological roles including resistance to abiotic stress. Hence, including VitC as a trait to improve in breeding ... -
Organisation and control of ascorbate biosynthesis pathway in plants
(UMA Editorial, 2021-02-03)Ascorbate, also known as vitamin C, plays fundamental roles in human health. However, we are unable to synthesise ascorbate due to a series of accumulated mutations in the last enzyme of the pathway. Therefore, fruits and ... -
REGULATION OF VITAMIN C BIOSYNTHESIS IN HIGHER PLANTS
Fenech-Torres, Mario; Amorim-Silva, Vitor; Castillo-Garriga, Araceli; Esteban del Valle, Alicia; Valpuesta-Fernández, Victoriano; Smirnoff, Nicholas; Botella-Mesa, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (2019-05-15)
Ascorbate, also known as vitamin C, plays fundamental roles in biotic and abiotic stress resistance in plants. In green tissues, ascorbate is mainly synthesized through the Smirnoff-Wheeler pathway, whose regulation is not ... -
Regulation of Vitamin C content in higher plants
Fenech-Torres, Mario; Amorim-Silva, Vitor; Smirnoff, Nicholas; Botella-Mesa, Miguel Ángel (2017-06-23)
Ascorbic Acid (AsA, vitamin C) has multiple biological roles in plants. Although several pathways for the novo synthesis of AsA have been reported, it is the L-Gal, also known as the Smirnoff-Wheeler (SW), the main pathway ... -
Vitamin C content in fruits: Biosynthesis and regulation
Fenech-Torres, Mario; Amaya, Iraida; Valpuesta-Fernández, Victoriano; Botella, Miguel Angel (Frontiers, 2019-01-24)
Throughout evolution, a number of animals including humans have lost the ability to synthesize ascorbic acid (ascorbate, vitamin C), an essential molecule in the physiology of animals and plants. In addition to its main ...
