A heme protein. Oxidizes ascorbate and low molecular weight aromatic substrates. The monodehydroascorbate radical produced is either directly reduced back to ascorbate by EC 1.6.5.4 [monodehydroascorbate reductase (NADH)] or undergoes non-enzymic disproportionation to ascorbate and dehydroascorbate.

L-ascorbate:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase
A heme protein. Oxidizes ascorbate and low molecular weight aromatic substrates. The monodehydroascorbate radical produced is either directly reduced back to ascorbate by EC 1.6.5.4 [monodehydroascorbate reductase (NADH)] or undergoes non-enzymic disproportionation to ascorbate and dehydroascorbate.
GhAPX1 is highly expressed in wild-type 5-day postanthesis fibres with much lower transcript levels in the fuzzless-lintless mutant ovules. GhAPX1 expression is upregulated in response to an increase in cellular H2O2 and ethylene
downregulation of cytosolic ascorbate peroxidases inhibits the development of sink organs in cotton. Downregulated expression of cAPXs inhibits the development of cotton bolls, fibers, and seeds and reduces the storage capacity of the sink organs. The photosynthetic rate is suppressed in the knockout mutant plants, and the reactive oxygen species level is increased in guard cells. Overexpression of GhAPX1 has little effect on the photosynthetic characteristics of the plants. The decrease of cAPX expression in leaves increases ROS level in stomatal guard cells, leading to the decrease of stomatal aperture, which might decrease the supply of carbon dioxide and water used for photosynthesis. The downregulation of cytosolic ascorbate peroxidases (APXs) decreases the water content and increases the water loss rate in cotton leaf. There is a close relationship between the stomatal opening and the inhibition of plant growth caused by the deficiency of antioxidant enzyme in cells
cytosolic ascorbate peroxidases (APXs) are hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging enzymes in plants. H2O2 is a signaling molecule involved in regulating photosynthesis in plants. Cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase members provide an important guarantee to maintain photosynthetic rate
generation of transgenic cotton with changes of endogenous ROS by overexpressing or suppressing the expression of cytosolic ascorbate peroxidases (APXs). Downregulation of cytosolic ascorbate peroxidases inhibits the development of sink organs in Gossipium hirsutum. Plant growth and plant size, including plant heights and leaf sizes (lengths and widths), are seriously reduced in the cAPX-suppressed cottons compared to wild-type plants, phenotypes, detailed overview. Downregulated expression of cAPXs inhibits the development of cotton bolls, fibers, and seeds and reduces the storage capacity of the sink organs. The photosynthetic rate is suppressed in the mutant plants. Overexpression of GhAPX1 has little effect on the photosynthetic characteristics of the plants, except that the transpiration rate (Trmmol) and leaf surface temperature (CTleaf) are lower than in the control plant. The downregulation of cytosolic ascorbate peroxidases (APXs) decreases the water content and increases the water loss rate in cotton leaf
