Abstract excerpt
Ascorbate (Asc; vitamin C) plays essential roles in development, signaling, hormone biosynthesis, regulation of gene expression, stress resistance, and photoprotection. In vascular plants, violaxanthin de-epoxidase requires Asc as a reductant; thereby, Asc is required for the energy-dependent component of nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ). To assess the role of Asc in NPQ in green algae, which are known to contain...
