Expressional characterization of dehydroascorbate reductase cDNA in transgenic potato plants
In plants ascorbic acid (AsA) is a strong antioxidant or reductant that can be converted to dehydroascorbate (DHA) by oxidation. DHA, a very short-lived chemical, can either be hydrolyzed irreversibly to 2,3-d...
