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

Explore the complex dynamics of Ascorbic Acid (AA) and its impact on plant life in this scientific volume from the Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology series. This book addresses the lack of information regarding AA turnover during critical stages such as germination, metabolism, growth, and differentiation. Readers will gain insights into how AA turnover affects the juvenile phase of plant growth, which has a direct effect on how a plant matures and develops later in its life cycle. The text also examines the role of AA in plants facing various types of stress. By studying the beneficial effects of presowing seed treatments using Ascorbic Acid and water, this work supports the AA-nucleic acid-protein metabolism concept of growth. It is an essential resource for those studying plant development and agricultural biotechnology.
