Amino acids play several critical roles in plants, from providing the building blocks of
proteins to being essential metabolites interacting with many branches of metabolism. They …

Although amino acids are critical for all forms of life, only proteogenic amino acids that
humans and animals cannot synthesize de novo and therefore must acquire in their diets …

Unicellular marine algae have promise for providing sustainable and scalable biofuel
feedstocks, although no single species has emerged as a preferred organism. Moreover …

Both Met (methionine) and SAM (S-adenosylmethionine), the activated form of Met,
participate in a number of essential metabolic pathways in plants. The subcellular …

Pathways regulating threonine, methionine and isoleucine metabolism are very efficiently
interconnected in plants. As both threonine and methionine serve as substrates for …

Main conclusion Whereas proline accumulates through de novo biosynthesis in plants
subjected to osmotic stress, leucine, isoleucine, and valine accumulation in drought …

Valine, leucine and isoleucine form the small group of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)
classified by their small branched hydrocarbon residues. Unlike animals, plants are able to …

Deciphering the influence of genetics on primary metabolism in plants will provide insights
useful for genetic improvement and enhance our fundamental understanding of plant growth …

The nonprotein amino acid pipecolic acid (Pip) regulates plant systemic acquired resistance
and basal immunity to bacterial pathogen infection. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

Summary l‐lysine catabolic routes in plants include the saccharopine pathway to α‐
aminoadipate and decarboxylation of lysine to cadaverine. The current review will cover a …
