In plants, AsA serves as a major redox buffer and regulates various physiological processes controlling growth, development, signal transduction and stress tolerance. Recent studies on AsA biosynthesis, oxidation, recycling, transport and redox regulation have provided a wealth of information of the mechanisms associated with AsA-mediated plant growth and development, as well as plant stress tolerance. As plant-based foods constitute the principal source of AsA in the human diet, the possibility of increasing the AsA content of plants to improve their nutritional value has also received considerable attention in recent years. The importance of the relationship between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and AsA for regulation of cell signalling and metabolic processes has been well established. In contrast to the single pathway responsible for AsA biosynthesis in animals, plants use multiple pathways to synthesize AsA, and this reflects the meta- bolic diversity of plants and the importance of AsA for plant health. Any changes in the AsA content of plant cells can result in a diverse range of effects on growth, development and stress tolerance, as AsA is involved in redox signalling, cell cycle regulation, enzyme functioning and the expression of defence and stress-related genes. Being a major component of the Foyer-Halliwell-Asada cycle, AsA helps to modulate oxidative stress tolerance by controlling ROS detoxification, both alone and in cooperation with glutathione (GSH) and other antioxidants. While tremen- dous progress has been made over the last few years regarding the multiple roles of AsA in improving environmental stress tolerance, the manipulation of the AsA con- tents in plants as a means to improve stress tolerance and the nutritional value of some crop plants is still an evolving area of research. In this book, Ascorbate in Plant Growth Development and Stress Tolerance, we present a collection of 19 chapters written by leading experts on the importance of AsA metabolism for plant growth, development and stress tolerance and for the production of nutritious plant-based foods. Chapter “Chemistry and Metabolism of Ascorbic Acid in Plants” addresses the chemical properties and redox reactions of AsA and its metabolism, including biosynthesis and degradation. Chapter “The Role of Ascorbate in Plant Growth and Development” describes the involvement of AsA v vi Preface and its interaction with redox regulatory signalling networks during growth and development, at the cellular, tissue and organ levels, including its participation in cell cycle regulation, seed germination, embryogenesis, root and shoot meristem development and flowering. Chapter “Ascorbate as a Key Player in Plant Abiotic Stress Response and Tolerance” deals with the involvement of AsA metabolism in plants under abiotic stress and how to improve resilience to stressors in transgenic plants with altered enzymes involved in AsA biosynthesis and recycling. Chapter “Ascorbate Peroxidases: Crucial Roles of Antioxidant Enzymes in Plant Stress Responses” describes the physiological roles of ascorbate peroxidase isoforms in plants, by reviewing the findings of key biochemical, physiological and genetic stud- ies. Chapter “Molecular and Functional Characterization of Monodehydroascorbate and Dehydroascorbate Reductases” addresses on the molecular properties, structural and enzymatic, of AsA-regenerating enzymes (monodehydroascorbate reductase, MDHAR and dehydroascorbate reductase, DHAR) and their biochemical functions. Chapter “Regulation of Ascorbic Acid Biosynthesis in Plants” focuses on the regula- tion of AsA biosynthesis at the transcriptional level by internal and environmental factors affecting the AsA contents of plants. Chapter “Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants” addresses the role of the ascorbate-glutathi- one (AsA-GSH) cycle in regulating abiotic stress responses and tolerance. Chapter “Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle and Biotic Stress Tolerance in Plants” describes the involvement of the AsA-GSH cycle in biotic stress tolerance, the role of compart- ment-specific changes in the AsA-GSH cycle activity in biotic stress signalling and the AsA- and GSH-dependent mechanisms that enable plants to respond to abiotic and biotic stress combinations. Chapter “Exogenous Ascorbic Acid Mediated Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants” gives an overview of physiological, biochemical and molecular effects of exogenous applications of AsA to various plant species under abiotic stress. Chapter “The Role of Ascorbic Acid in Plant–Pathogen Interactions” provides a broad picture of the mechanisms by which AsA interacts with key components of a complex network regulating both basal and induced resis- tance in different pathosystems. Chapter “Ascorbate Oxidase in Plant Growth, Development, and Stress Tolerance” discusses the roles of ascorbate oxidase in plant growth, development and stress tolerance, based on the current research findings, and examines additional roles the enzyme could play at the cellular level. Chapter “AsA/DHA Redox Pair Influencing Plant Growth and Stress Tolerance” gives an overview of the literature with an emphasis on the role of the AsA/DHA redox pair in plant growth and abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. Chapter “The Role of Plant High-Throughput Phenotyping in the Characterization of the Response of High Ascorbate Plants to Abiotic Stresses” describes the genetic engineering of AsA bio- synthetic genes in relation to abiotic stress tolerance and the potential of high- throughput plant phenotyping (phenomics) to accelerate the characterization of phenotypes of model plants and crops with high AsA levels. Chapter “Physiological Role of Ascorbic Acid Recycling Enzymes in Plants” focuses on the primary struc- ture and the expression of genes encoding plant MDHAR and DHAR isozymes, as well as their contributions to the regulation of AsA contents in the leaves and fruits of plants. This chapter also p rovides information about the roles of MDHAR and Preface vii DHAR in chloroplasts, the cytosol and guard cells in relation to plant stress toler- ance. Chapter “Ascorbic Acid Biofortification in Crops” provides an overview of our current understanding of AsA metabolism in model species and the ever-expanding molecular genetic toolset that modern molecular breeders can use to improve the AsA contents of crop plants. Chapter “Evolution of the Metabolic Network Leading to Ascorbate Synthesis and Degradation Using Marchantia polymorpha as a Model System” explores the evolution of the metabolic network leading to AsA synthesis and degradation using Marchantia polymorpha as a model system. Chapter “Ascorbic Acid in Processed Plant-Based Foods” focuses on the use of conventional food pro- cessing techniques to stabilize/protect AsA levels in plant-based foods and how novel processing techniques, such as pulsed electric fields and high hydrostatic pres- sure processing, could improve the retention of biologically active AsA in plant- based foods. Chapter “Ascorbate Metabolism and Nitrogen Fixation in Legumes” deals with AsA metabolism in relation to biological nitrogen fixation, with special reference to the production of ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in nodules, the benefits of exogenous AsA on N fixation and the metabolic pathways of AsA 2 biosynthesis in plants and nodules. Chapter “Importance of Vitamin C in Human Health and Disease” describes the importance of AsA in human health and disease. This book is intended to provide comprehensive and in-depth information for advanced students, teachers and plant scientists around the globe, who are working on AsA metabolism in relation to plant growth and development, stress tolerance and quality improvement in plant-based foods.
