malfunction | a mutant lacking all three DHAR isozymes (DELTAdhar), with negligible DHAR activity, is shown to be equivalent to wild-type plants in terms of growth and development, as well as ascorbate levels. Analysis of the DELTAdhar mutant shows that DHARs are required to couple hydrogen peroxide metabolism to glutathione oxidation and that this is functionally important for downstream activation of the salicylic acid pathway. Thus, the role of DHARs in ascorbate recycling remains controversial. DHAR activity is dispensable for growth and ascorbate homeostasis under low light. When subjected to high-light stress, both the wild-type plants and DELTAdhar mutants accumulate ascorbate to high levels, but minor differences are observed after a prolonged stress. The lower ascorbate accumulation of DELTAdhar relative to the wild-type is associated with a slight overaccumulation of threonate, an ascorbate degradation. A blockage of ascorbate accumulation in response to high light is also observed when glutathione deficiency is induced pharmacologically by buthionine sulfoximine treatment, providing extra evidence that, in high-light conditions, glutathione acts as a substitute for ascorbate reduction | Arabidopsis thaliana |
malfunction | DHAR overexpression in maize leads to an increase in ascorbate and glutathione concentration, as well as a shift toward the reduced state for glutathione | Zea mays |
malfunction | DHAR-downregulated tobacco lines show reduced total ascorbate levels, lower dry weight, and diminished photosynthetic efficiency. DHAR overexpression in tobacco leads to an increase in ascorbate and glutathione concentration, as well as a shift toward the reduced state for glutathione | Nicotiana benthamiana |
metabolism | the enzyme is part of the ascorbate recycling pathways, overview | Arabidopsis thaliana |
physiological function | DHARs are required to couple hydrogen peroxide metabolism to glutathione oxidation and that this is functionally important for downstream activation of the salicylic acid pathway.
