The plastidial MEP pathway: unified nomenclature and resources.

Trends in plant science - 1 Dec 2008

Phillips Michael A, León Patricia, Boronat Albert, Rodríguez-Concepción Manuel

Abstract excerpt

In plants, the plastid-localized 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway provides the precursors for the synthesis of isoprenoid hormones, monoterpenes, carotenoids and the side chain of chlorophylls, tocopherols and prenylquinones. As a result of the fast progress in the elucidation and characterization of the pathway (mainly by genetic approaches in Escherichia coli and Arabidopsis thaliana),...
