TL;DR: The different pattern of distribution of ASC in different tissues and cell compartments reflects its possible role in cell metabolism and root morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ascorbic acid oxidase is dynamically regulated by light and oxygen. A tool for oxygen management in plants
TL;DR: Abundant mRNA, protein and activity of AAO were observed in illuminated leaves of Cucurbita pepo and AAO activity was found to be proportional to light intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivoelicitation of ascorbate oxidase activity by dioxygen and its possible role in photosynthesizing leaves
TL;DR: Ascorbate oxidase (AAO, EC 1.10.3) is a complex blue copper-protein capable of reducing molecular oxygen to water without generating reactive oxygen intermediates, by using ascorbic acid as an electron donor as discussed by the authors.
