Abstract excerpt
Leaf ascorbic acid (ASA) level is thought to be an important trait conferring stress tolerance in plants, but definite evidence regarding its effectiveness in the breeding of stress tolerant crops is lacking. Therefore, the stress response of a rice TOS17 insertion mutant (ND6172) for a GDP-D-mannose-3',5'-epimerase gene, which is involved in ASA biosynthesis, was tested. Two fumigation experiments were...
