In addition to its well-known antioxidant properties, ascorbate (ASC) is capable of influencing normal cell cycle progression in plants. In this work we demonstrate that the oxidized molecule dehydroas-corbate (DHA) is the active redox form in this respect. Our results indicate that the reduction of
