Abstract:31Attempts to improve the ascorbate (AsA) content of plants are still dealing with the limited 32 understanding of why exists a wide variability of this powerful anti-oxidant molecule in different 33 plant sources, species and environmental situations. In plant mitochondria, the last step of AsA 34 synthesis is catalyzed by the enzyme L-galactone-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (L-GalLDH). By using 35GalLDH-RNAi silencing plant lines, biochemical and proteomic approaches, we here discovered 36 that, in addition to a… Show more
