Ononitol and pinitol production in transgenic soybean containing the inositol methyl transferase gene from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum

2006-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Although cyclitols are a major portion of carbohydrates in plants, surprisingly little is known about their metabolism. In the halophytic iceplant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum), ononitol is produced through the action of inositol methyl transferase (IMT), which transfers the methyl group from S-adenosyl-<span class="smCaps">l</span>-methionine to myo-inositol. Through an epimerase reaction, ononitol is then conv...
