Ascorbic acid (Asc) is a widespread antioxidant in plants and plays important roles in the growth and develop- ment of plants and formation of fruit quality. Plant Asc accumulates differentially in different plants. This paper summarizes the differences in Asc accumulation and its reasons, the diversity of biological function of Asc and the molecular mechanism of Asc accumulation in plants. The information will be useful for further studies of plant stress and fruit quality.
