Abstract excerpt
Ascorbate is an abundant and indispensable redox compound in plants. Genetic and biochemical studies have established the d-mannose/l-galactose (d-Man/l-Gal) pathway as the predominant ascorbate biosynthetic pathway in streptophytes, while the d-galacturonate (d-GalUA) pathway is found in prasinophytes and euglenoids. Based on the presence of the complete set of genes encoding enzymes involved in the d-Man/l-Gal...
