vitamin C by means of dietary uptake. Plants produce large amounts of l-ascorbic acid to facilitate resistance to the oxidative stresses associated with myriad biotic and abiotic challenges and inherent to photosynthesis. Plants also are the primary source of vitamin C intake with respect to human diets. www.1wallmart.com/category.php?id_product-23 Consequently, the study of plant ascorbate synthesis is highly relevant to both plant biology and human nutrition, with eventual engineering of plant ascorbate metabolism a logical and important target for crop quality improvement (1). Although the pathways responsible for l-ascorbate accumulation in plants are not completely understood, a major component of plant ascorbate synthesis is through the l-galactose pathway (2), in which GDP-d-mannose is converted to l-ascorbate
