Journal ArticleDOI
Shikimate and phenylalanine biosynthesis in the green lineage
TL;DR: The shikimate pathway of the green lineage is reviewed and its evolution and ubiquity is compared and contrast with that of the more specialized phenylpropanoid metabolism which this essential pathway fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive Dissection of Spatiotemporal Metabolic Shifts in Primary, Secondary, and Lipid Metabolism during Developmental Senescence in Arabidopsis
Mutsumi Watanabe,Salma Balazadeh,Takayuki Tohge,Alexander Erban,Patrick Giavalisco,Joachim Kopka,Bernd Mueller-Roeber,Alisdair R. Fernie,Rainer Hoefgen +8 more
TL;DR: The metabolome data and the approach provided here can serve as a blueprint for the analysis of traits and conditions linking crop yield and senescence as well as provide clues to source-sink relations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of phenylpropanoid metabolism in the green lineage
TL;DR: In this review, phenolic metabolite-related gene sequences are compared across 23 independent species, and the phenolic metabolic complement of various plant species are compared with one another, in attempt to better understand the evolution of diversity in this crucial pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trehalose 6–phosphate coordinates organic and amino acid metabolism with carbon availability
Carlos Maria Figueroa,Regina Feil,Hirofumi Ishihara,Mutsumi Watanabe,Katharina Kölling,Ursula Krause,Melanie Höhne,Beatrice Encke,William C. Plaxton,Samuel C. Zeeman,Zhi Li,Waltraud X. Schulze,Rainer Hoefgen,Mark Stitt,John E. Lunn +14 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that high Tre6P levels decrease sucrose levels by stimulating nitrate assimilation and anaplerotic synthesis of organic acids, thereby diverting photoassimilates away from sucrose to generate carbon skeletons and fixed nitrogen for amino acid synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological Roles of the β-Substituted Alanine Synthase Gene Family in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: Analyses of gene expression, activities of CSase and CASase, and levels of Cys and glutathione in the bsas mutants indicated that cytosolic Bsas1;1, plastidic Bssas2; 1, and mitochondrial BsAs2;2 play major roles in Cys biosynthesis.
