Monodehydroascorbate Reductase Analysis in Plant Tissues

All kinds of abiotic and biotic stresses significantly limit plant productivity by disturbing cellular biochemistry and physiology via the overproduction of activated oxygen molecule-reactive oxygen species (ROS). Uncontrolled accumulation of ROS results in oxidation of DNA and RNA, protein denaturation and decreased enzyme activity as well as lipid peroxidation and carbohydrate oxidation. Within the antioxidant system in plants, the ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) path-way plays an important role in regulating and controlling the content of ROS.

Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR) is located in the chloroplasts, cytosol, mitochondria and peroxisomes. As a regulatory enzyme of the AsA-GSH path-way, MDAR plays a critical role in maintaining the optimal concentration of ascorbate by catalyzing the reduction of MDA radical at the expense of NAD(P)H oxidation. The activity of MDAR increases under several stress conditions, such as drought, salinity, high light intensity, and low temperature.

STEMart provides comprehensive analysis services to identify and investigate the function of MDAR in regulating plant environmental stress responses.
