Control of Ascorbate Synthesis by Respiration and Its Implications for Stress Responses1

We show for the first time that respiration can control ascorbate (AA) synthesis in plants. Evidence for this control is provided by (a) the localization of l-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (GalLDH), the terminal enzyme in AA biosynthesis, with mitochondrial complex I, and its regulation by
