Genetic Control of Ascorbic Acid Biosynthesis and Recycling in Horticultural Crops
Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an essential compound present in almost all living organisms that has important functions in several aspects of plant growth and development, hormone signaling, as well as stress defense networks. In recent years, the genetic regulation of AsA metabolic pathways has received much attention due to its beneficial role in human diet. Despite the great variability within spec...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Ascorbic Acid
hypophosphite for the conversion of D-glucuronolactone into L-ascorbic acid. 9. The presence of borate or Antabuse, each at mm-concentration, inhibits the conversion of Dglucuronolactone into L-ascorbic acid to about 50 %. 10. The optimum conditions for the action of the enzyme system have been studied. 11. The biosynthesized ascorbic acid has been identified by paper chromatography and by a bi...
متن کاملAscorbic acid recycling in human neutrophils.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) accumulation in activated human neutrophils is increased as much as 10-fold above the mM concentrations present in normal neutrophils. Internal concentrations as high as 14 mM are achieved when external vitamin is at physiologic concentration. The mechanism is by oxidation of external vitamin to dehydroascorbic acid, preferential transmembrane translocation of dehydroa...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Ascorbic Acid in Human Beings
Introduction.?It is generally recognized that human beings, monkeys and guinea-pigs do not synthesize vitamin C in their body. The difference in the time of onset of the symptoms ?f vitamin C deficiency were attributed to differences in age, sex and locality. The great extent to which pregnant women could tolerate vitamin C deficiency could not be explained. It has, however, been suggested that...
متن کاملSelenium Enrichment of Horticultural Crops.
The ability of some crops to accumulate selenium (Se) is crucial for human nutrition and health. Selenium has been identified as a cofactor of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which is a catalyzer in the reduction of peroxides that can damage cells and tissues, and can act as an antioxidant. Plants are the first link in the food chain, which ends with humans. Increasing the Se quantity in pla...
