Springer - The Role of Ascorbic Acid in Plant Growth (Vol 5)

Explore the essential dynamics of Ascorbic Acid (AA) in plant biology with this specialized volume from the Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology series. This book addresses the lack of information regarding how AA turnover affects germination, metabolism, growth, and differentiation. It provides a detailed look at how these processes function during both normal development and when plants face various types of stress. Readers will learn how the turnover of AA impacts the juvenile growth phase, which has a major effect on how a plant matures and develops later in its life cycle. The text also examines the benefits of presowing seed treatments using Ascorbic Acid and water. This research supports the AA-nucleic acid-protein metabolism concept of growth, offering valuable insights for researchers and professionals in the field of agricultural biotechnology and plant science.
