Malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid and an important regulatory metabolite. It has been implicated in process of fruit ripening. Malic acid is important for the starch metabolism low malic acid content results in transient accumulation of starch. Mitochondrial-malate metabolism modulates ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity and redox status of plastids.
