    Abstract: Methods for increasing the vitamin C content of plants are provided by transforming the plants with genes encoding a novel vitamin C biosynthetic pathway. Vitamin C production is increased in the resulting transgenic plants, providing, for example, higher nutritional value and longer shelf-life of produce. Further, the leaves of air-cured varieties of tobacco transformed in this manner contain lower levels of highly carcinogenic tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNAs).
