Auxin: regulation, action, and interaction.
Andrew Woodward,Bonnie Bartel +1 more
TL;DR: Nearly six decades after the structural elucidation of IAA, many aspects of auxin metabolism, transport and signalling are well established; however, more than a few fundamental questions and innumerable details remain unresolved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemistry and biology of monoterpene indole alkaloid biosynthesis
TL;DR: The biosynthetic pathways for several representative terpene indole alkaloids are described in detail, showing a diverse array of structures and biological activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
New insights into the shikimate and aromatic amino acids biosynthesis pathways in plants.
Vered Tzin,Gad Galili +1 more
TL;DR: Although the major route of Phe and Tyr biosynthesis in plants occurs via the intermediate metabolite arogenate, recent studies suggest that plants can also synthesize phenylalanine via the Intermediate metabolite phenylpyruvate (PPY), similarly to many microorganisms.

Functional roles of melatonin in plants, and perspectives in nutritional and agricultural science
Dun Xian Tan,Rüdiger Hardeland,Lucien C. Manchester,Ahmet Korkmaz,Shuran Ma,Sergio Rosales-Corral,Russel J. Reiter +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence indicates that melatonin has an ability to increase the production of crops and may involve the roles of melatonin in preservation of chlorophyll, promotion of photosynthesis, and stimulation of root development.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pathway of auxin biosynthesis in plants
Yoshihiro Mano,Keiichirou Nemoto +1 more
TL;DR: The genes now known to be involved in auxin biosynthesis are summarized and the major IAA biosynthetic pathway distributed widely in the plant kingdom is discussed on the basis of biochemical and molecular biological findings and bioinformatics studies.

Preparation and properties of a homogeneous aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase from hog kidney
TL;DR: Preparations of hog kidney aromatic l -amino acid decarboxylase have been obtained which are 99% pure as indicated by disc gel electrophoresis, sedimentation, and immunological techniques, and added pyridoxal phosphate stimulated the activity up to fivefold.
