Abstract excerpt
The biosynthesis of histidine (His) in microorganisms, long studied through the isolation and characterization of auxotrophic mutants, has emerged as a paradigm for the regulation of metabolism and gene expression. Much less is known about His biosynthesis in flowering plants. One limiting factor has been the absence of large collections of informative auxotrophs. We describe here the results of a systematic...
