Ascorbic acid metabolism and functions: A comparison of plants and mammals
504
TL;DR: Ascorbate status influences gene expression in plants and mammals but at present there is little evidence that it acts as a specific signalling molecule and the possibility that dehydroascorbylation is a regulatory post‐translational protein modification could be explored.

Evolution of alternative biosynthetic pathways for vitamin C following plastid acquisition in photosynthetic eukaryotes
Glen L. Wheeler,Takahiro Ishikawa,Varissa Pornsaksit,Nicholas Smirnoff +3 more
TL;DR: Molecular and biochemical evidence is presented demonstrating that GULO was functionally replaced with GLDH in photosynthetic eukaryote lineages following plastid acquisition and likely contributed to the rise of ascorbate as a major photoprotective antioxidant.
Altered stomatal dynamics in ascorbate oxidase over-expressing tobacco plants suggest a role for dehydroascorbate signalling
TL;DR: Data support a specific role for cell wall-localized AA in the perception of environmental cues, and suggest that DHA acts as a regulator of stomatal dynamics.
Ascorbic acid deficiency in arabidopsis induces constitutive priming that is dependent on hydrogen peroxide, salicylic acid, and the NPR1 gene
Madhumati Mukherjee,Katherine E. Larrimore,Naushin J. Ahmed,Tyler S. Bedick,Nadia T. Barghouthi,M. Brian Traw,Carina Barth +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that AA deficiency causes constitutive priming through a buildup of H(2)O(2), SA accumulation that stimulates SA accumulation, conferring enhanced disease resistance in vtc1-1, vtc2- 1, and vtc3-2, whereas vtc4-1 might be sensitized to H( 2)O-1 and SA production after infection.
Reactive oxygen species-induced release of intracellular ascorbate in plant cell-suspension cultures and evidence for pulsing of net release rate.
TL;DR: C cultured plant cells can respond actively to oxidative stress by reversibly exporting ascorbate into the apoplast, and the data show that exported asCorbate can serve an apoplastic antioxidant role in these late-growth-phase cells without being irreversibly lost.
