Abstract Sugar supply is a key component of hypoxia tolerance and acclimation in plants. However, striking gap remains our understanding mechanisms governing sugar impacts on low-oxygen responses. Here, we used maize (Zea mays) root-tip system for precise control oxygen levels. We compared responses to (21 0.2%) the presence abundant versus limited glucose supplies (2.0 0.2%). Low-oxygen reconfigured transcriptome with deprivation enhancing speed magnitude gene induction core anaerobic...
Ascorbate or vitamin C is an essential component of many cellular processes including hormone metabolism, chloroplast electron transport, and redox balance (Noctor Foyer 1998; Ivanov Khorobrykh 2003; 2014; et al., 2020).It well established that ascorbate accumulates in response to high light (> 300 µmol m -2 s -1 ) where it acts as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, contributing stress tolerance plants (Hasanuzzaman 2019; Xiao 2021).Despite these vital roles, aspects biosynthesis...
