Abstract excerpt
Phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan have a dual biosynthetic role in plants; they are required for protein synthesis and are also precursors to a number of aromatic secondary metabolites critical to normal development and stress responses. Whereas much has been learned in recent years about the genetic control of tryptophan biosynthesis in Arabidopsis and other plants, relatively little is known about the...
