Abstract
⺠Catabolism of vitamin C non-enzymically under conditions mimicking the apoplast. ⺠Dehydroascorbic acid + H2O2 yield two interconvertible oxalyl-threonate (OxT) isomers. ⺠3-OxT and 4-OxT differ in acidity and are separable by paper electrophoresis. ⺠Diketogulonate + H2O2 yield two partially characterised acidic products. ⺠Possible signalling or defence roles of these metabolites await exploration.
