New Insights into the Shikimate and Aromatic Amino Acids Biosynthesis Pathways in Plants

Abstract: 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 secondary metabolites that are important for plant growth as well as for human nutrition and health. The aromatic amino acids are synthesized via the shikimate pathway followed by the branched aromatic amino acids biosynthesis pathway, with chorismate serving as a major intermediate branch point metabolite. Yet, the regulation and co… Show more

“…However, it should be noted that SA and shikimic acid were dramatically lower in T. gamsii F18‐treated plants than in the control plants. The shikimic acid pathway provides important intermediates in terms of chorismic acid for the synthesis of aromatic acids (Tzin and Galili, 2010). The reduction of shikimic acid results in low levels of its derivatives.…”

“…According to Tzin & Galili (2010), this herbicide blocks the production of aromatic amino acids which are essential for the synthesis of proteins and precursors of secondary metabolites, thus affecting plant growth.…”

“…As precursor, it may lead to the aromatic amino acids synthesis, by setting free the amine group (NH 3 ) to form phenylalanine and tryptophan. Phenylalanine acts as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phenolic compounds such as flavones, isoflavones and flavonoids (Pina and Errea, 2008;Tzin and Galili, 2010). In this paper, it is possible that part of the absorbed glutamine has been deviated for the secondary metabolites biosynthesis.…”
