Abstract excerpt
By applying a mutagenesis/selection procedure to obtain resistance to a lysine analog, S-(2-aminoethyl)L-cysteine (AEC), a lysine overproducing mutant in Nicotiana sylvestris was isolated. Amino acid analyses performed throughout plant development and of different organs of the N. sylvestris RAEC-1 mutant, revealed a developmental-dependent accumulation of free lysine. Lysine biosynthesis in the RAEC-1 mutant was...
