The rate of L-ascorbate catabolism in plants often correlates positively with the rate of cell expansion. The reason for this correlation is difficult to explore because of our incomplete knowledge of ascorbate catabolism pathways. These involve enzymic and/or non-enzymic oxidation to dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), which may then be hydrolysed to 2,3-diketogulonate (DKG). Both DHA and DKG were susceptible to further oxidation under conditions of pH and H2O2 concentration comparable with the plant apoplast. The kinetics of their oxidation and the identity of some of the products have been investigated here. DHA, whether added in pure form or generated in situ by ascorbate oxidation, was oxidised non-enzymically to yield, almost simultaneously, a monoanion (cyclic-oxalyl-threonate; cOxT) and a dianion (oxalyl-threonate; OxT). The monoanion was resistant to periodate oxidation, showing that it was not oxalic threonic anhydride. The OxT population was shown to be an interconverting mixture of 3-OxT and 4-OxT, differing in pK(a). The 3-OxT appeared to be formed earlier than 4-OxT, but the latter predominated at equilibrium. DKG was oxidised by H2O2 to two partially characterised products, one of which was itself further oxidised by H2O2 to yield threonate. The possible occurrence of these reactions in the apoplast in vivo and the biological roles of vitamin C catabolites are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
