Anthocyanin Formation in Excised Segments of Buckwheat-Seedling Hypocotyls.

Anthocyanin Pigments of Buckwheat Hypocotyls

The Site of the Inhibition of the Shikimate Pathway by Glyphosate: I. INHIBITION BY GLYPHOSATE OF PHENYLPROPANOID SYNTHESIS IN BUCKWHEAT (FAGOPYRUM ESCULENTUM MOENCH) .

The nonselective herbicide glyphosate (n-[phosphonomethyl]glycine) inhibited the light-induced accumulation of phenylpropanoid substances (chlorogenic acid, procyanidin, rutin, anthocyanin) in etiolated buckwheat hypocotyls 90% at 1 millimolar. Structurally related compounds, such as n,n-bis[phosphonomethyl]glycine, aminomethylphosphonate, methylglycine, and iminodiacetate, had little or no inh...

Inhibition of Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase in vitro and in vivo by (l-Amino-2-phenylethyl)phosphonic Acid, the Phosphonic Analogue of Phenylalanine

The phosphonic analogue of L-phenylalanine, (/?)-(l-am ino-2-phenylethyl)phosphonic acid (A P E P ), inhibits buckwheat phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) com petitively with a K t value o f 1.5 |iM. The K, value for the (S)-enantiomer is 11.6 jj,M. The corresponding values for the enantiom ers of the phosphonous analogue are 35 and 205 |u.m , respectively. APEP inhibits the light-induced synthe...

Interference of L-a-Aminooxy-/?-Phenylpropionic Acid with Phenylalanine Metabolism in Buckwheat

Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase, L-ar-Aminooxy-/?-phenylpropionic Acid, Aromatic Amino Acids, Shikimic Acid, Fagopyrum esculentum L-a-Aminooxy-/?-phenylpropionic acid (AOPP), a potent competitive inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), blocked light-induced phenylpropanoid synthesis in excised buckwheat hypocotyls and produced an up to 40-fold increase in the endogenous phenylalanine concen...

Comparison of Three Phytochrome-mediated Processes in the Hypocotyl of Mustard.

Anthocyanin synthesis, hair formation, and the synthesis of ascorbic acid oxidase are all phytochrome-mediated reactions occurring in the hypocotyl of mustard (Sinapis alba L.), controlled by phytochrome actually located in the hypocotyl. A comparison of these three reactions showed that in certain respects they differ greatly in their response to light. The ability of the seedling to respond t...
