Tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan are the three aromatic amino acids (AAA) involved
in protein synthesis. These amino acids and their metabolism are linked to the synthesis of a …

The general phenylpropanoid metabolism generates an enormous array of secondary
metabolites based on the few intermediates of the shikimate pathway as the core unit. The …

The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan in plants are not only
essential components of protein synthesis, but also serve as precursors for a wide range of …

The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan in plants are not only
essential components of protein synthesis, but also serve as precursors for a wide range of …

Glyphosate has become the best-selling herbicide used in agriculture, horticulture,
silviculture, and urban environments. It disrupts the shikimate metabolic pathway and …

Background Differences in floral traits, such as petal color, scent, morphology, or nectar
quality and quantity, can lead to specific interactions with pollinators and may thereby cause …

Volatile organic compounds (volatiles) comprise a chemically diverse class of low molecular
weight organic compounds having an appreciable vapor pressure under ambient …

Formation of flower organs and the subsequent pollination process require a coordinated
spatial and temporal regulation of particular metabolic pathways. In this study a comparison …

Floral scent, which is determined by a complex mixture of low molecular weight volatile
molecules, plays a major role in the plant's life cycle. Phenylpropanoid volatiles are the main …

A link between the scent and color of Narcissus tazetta flowers can be anticipated due to
their biochemical origin, as well as their similar biological role. Despite the obvious aesthetic …
