Do plants benefit from the vitamins they produce?

Do oranges, for example, make use of vitamin C? If they do, then why do they produce so much more of it than other fruits and vegetables? Is it possible that the vitamin C benefits the plant only indirectly, by helping the animals that disperse the seeds from the fruit?
