1.10.3.3 | evolution |
AAO belongs to the large family of multicopper oxidases. AAO labelling in the cytosol, walls and chloroplasts of Chaetomorpha linum cells, whereas in angiosperms this enzyme is almost exclusively confined to the extracellular matrix, possible function of AAO in adaptation and functional evolution of its cellular location, overview |

1.10.3.3 | malfunction |
a diminution in ascorbate oxidase activity affects carbon allocation and improves yield in tomato under water deficit, overview. RNAi knockout plants show increased fruit yield under three conditions where assimilate became limiting for wild-type plants: when fruit trusses are left unpruned, when leaves are removed or when water supply is limited. Several alterations in the transgenic lines can contribute to the improved yield and favour transport of assimilate from leaves to fruits in the ascorbate oxidase lines. RNAi lines show altered sink strength |
