Abstract excerpt
S-Adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase (SAM-S) catalyzes the conversion of L-methionine and ATP into S-adenosyl-L-methionine. Tobacco plants that were transformed with a construct allowing high transcription levels of an Arabidopsis sam-s gene could be grouped into two main classes based on their mor...
