lüll Exploring the impact of wounding and jasmonates on ascorbate metabolism Suza WP; Avila CA; Carruthers K; Kulkarni S; Goggin FL; Lorence APlant Physiol Biochem 2010[May]; 48 (5): 337-50Vitamin 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, and pathogen attack. Plant defenses against these stresses are also dependent upon jasmonates (JAs), a class of plant hormones that promote ROS accumulation. Here, we review evidence showing that wounding and JAs influence AsA accumulation in various plant species, and we report new data from Arabidopsis and tomato testing the influence of JAs on AsA levels in wounded and unwounded plants. In both species, certain mutations that impair JA metabolism and signaling influence foliar AsA levels, suggesting that endogenous JAs may regulate steady-state AsA. However, the impact of wounding on AsA accumulation was similar in JA mutants and wild type controls, indicating that this wound response does not require JAs. Our findings also indicate that the effects of wounding and JAs on AsA accumulation differ between species; these factors both enhanced AsA accumulation in Arabidopsis, but depressed AsA levels in tomato. These results underscore the importance of obtaining data from more than one model species, and demonstrate the complexity of AsA regulation.|*Adaptation, Physiological[MESH]|*Oxidative Stress[MESH]|*Plant Diseases[MESH]|Antioxidants/*metabolism[MESH]|Arabidopsis/metabolism[MESH]|Ascorbic Acid/*metabolism[MESH]|Cyclopentanes/*metabolism[MESH]|Ecosystem[MESH]|Magnoliopsida/*metabolism[MESH]|Oxylipins/*metabolism[MESH]|Reactive Oxygen Species[MESH]|Solanum lycopersicum/metabolism[MESH] |
