Abstract excerpt
Plant mutants with defects in intermediate enzymes of the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway often display a blue fluorescent phenotype. This phenotype results from the accumulation of the fluorescent tryptophan precursor anthranilate, the bulk of which is found in a glucose-conjugated form. To elucidate factors that control fluorescent tryptophan metabolites, we conducted a genetic screen for suppressors of blue...
