The reaction between chromium(V1) and L-ascorbic acid has been studied by spectrophotometry in the presence of aqueous citrate buffers in the pH range 5.69-7.21. The reaction is slowed down by an increase of the ionic strength. At constant ionic strength, manganese(I1) ion does not exert any appreci

Both glutathione and an NADPH-dependent glutathione reductase are present in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. It is proposed that glutathione functions to stabilise enzymes of the Calvin cycle, and it may also act to keep ascorbic acid in chloroplasts in the reduced form.
## Background: The accumulation of l-ascorbate (asc) in fruits is influenced by environmental factors including light quantity. fruit exposure to ambient light is often reduced by the surrounding leaf canopy, and can be altered by cultivation practices. the influence of reduced sunlight exposure on
Vitamin C (ascorbate, AsA) is the most abundant water-soluble antioxidant in plants. Ascorbate provides the first line of defense against damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS), and helps protect plant cells from many factors that induce oxidative stress, including wounding, ozone, high salinity, an
