Abstract
Vitamin C, also referred to as ascorbic acid (AsA), is recognized for its capacity to cure and avert scurvy, and it is crucial for regular human growth and development. In various crops, AsA participates in stress response mechanisms mediated by abscisic acid and has been discovered to have a crucial function in the morphogenesis, growth, development, and production of male gametes in plants. GDP-D-mannose 3′,5′-epimerase (GME) is essential in the synthesis of vitamin C. Our research identified 91, 83, 51, and 46 genes, respectively, found in G. barbadense (GbGMEs), G. hirsutum (GhGMEs), G. arboretum (GaGMEs), and G. raimondii (GrGMEs). Plants resulting from VIGS infection with GhGME31D clearly showed yellowing, water loss and wilting of leaves and black spots on stems. Measurement of MDA and AsA levels indicated that the plants were more damaged. This indicates that AsA has a substantial impact on plant growth and development.
期刊介绍:
ESEU is an international journal, focusing primarily on Europe, with a broad scope covering all aspects of environmental sciences, including the main topic regulation.
ESEU will discuss the entanglement between environmental sciences and regulation because, in recent years, there have been misunderstandings and even disagreement between stakeholders in these two areas. ESEU will help to improve the comprehension of issues between environmental sciences and regulation.
ESEU will be an outlet from the German-speaking (DACH) countries to Europe and an inlet from Europe to the DACH countries regarding environmental sciences and regulation.
Moreover, ESEU will facilitate the exchange of ideas and interaction between Europe and the DACH countries regarding environmental regulatory issues.
Although Europe is at the center of ESEU, the journal will not exclude the rest of the world, because regulatory issues pertaining to environmental sciences can be fully seen only from a global perspective.
