Light-Induced Vitamin C Accumulation in Tomato Fruits is Independent of Carbohydrate Availability
L-ascorbate (ASC) is essential for human health.Therefore, there is interest in increasing the ASC content of crops like tomato.High irradiance induces accumulation lycogel of ASC in green tomato fruits.The D-mannose/L-galactose biosynthetic pathway accounts for the most ASC in plants.The myo-inositol and galacturonate pathways have been proposed t
