Hydrogen Peroxide is Scavenged by Ascorbate-specific Peroxidase in Spinach Chloroplasts
TLDR
Observations confirm that the electron donor for the scavenging of hydrogen peroxide in chloroplasts is L-ascorbate and that the L-ASCorbate is regenerated from DHA by the system: photosystem I-*ferredoxin-*NADP^>glutathione and a preliminary characterization of the chloroplast peroxidase is given.

  • 1 June 1999
TLDR
Whenever the water-water cycle operates properly for scavenging of active oxygens in chloroplasts, it also effectively dissipates excess excitation energy under environmental stress. Expand

TLDR
The reaction centers of PSI and PSII in chloroplast thylakoids are the major generation site of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the primary reduced product was identified. Expand
Ascorbate peroxidase – a hydrogen peroxide‐scavenging enzyme in plants
Ascorbate peroxidase is a hydrogen peroxide-scavenging enzyme that is specific to plants and algae and is indispensable to protect chloroplasts and other cell constituents from damage by hydrogen… Expand
Monodehydroascorbate Reductase in Spinach Chloroplasts and Its Participation in Regeneration of Ascorbate for Scavenging Hydrogen Peroxide
Purification of ascorbate peroxidase in spinach chloroplasts; its inactivation in ascorbate-depleted medium and reactivation by monodehydroascorbate radical
Ascorbate Peroxidase in Tea Leaves: Occurrence of Two Isozymes and the Differences in Their Enzymatic and Molecular Properties
TLDR
Two isozymes of ascorbate (AsA) peroxidase were found in tea leaves, and one of them was purified to homogeneity, as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Expand
