shikimic acid/potato

We have previously proposed a chlorogenic acid biosynthetic pathway which involves a transesterification reaction between hydroxycinnamoyl D-glucose and D-quinic acid. The proposed pathway was based on tracer experimental results (Kojima, M., and Uritani, I. (1972) Plant Cell Physiol. 13, 311-319).

Phenylpropanoid metabolite and transcript expression during different developmental stages were examined in field grown potatoes. Carbohydrate and shikimic acid metabolism was assessed to determine how tuber primary metabolism influences phenylpropanoid metabolism. Phenylpropanoid concentrations

Plants contain many kinds of natural organic compounds, and their compounds possess many useful properties. Natural organic compounds are important for the development of medicines, pesticides, fragrances, cosmetics, and synthetic chemicals. In this chapter, we introduce efficient methods for

BACKGROUND Hydroxycinnamates (HCs) are mainly produced in plants. Caffeic acid (CA), p-coumaric acid (PA), ferulic acid (FA) and sinapic acid (SA) are members of the HC family. The consumption of HC by human might prevent cardiovascular disease and some types of cancer. The solubility of HCs is

Three bacterial isolates were isolated from infected potato tubers showing soft and brown rots like symptoms as well as one isolate from infected peach tree showing crown gall symptom. The morphological, biochemical and molecular assays proved that bacterial isolates belonging to Pectobacterium
