Compartmentation in Aromatic Metabolism

  • Chapter
Phenolic Metabolism in Plants

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 26))

Abstract

Plant aromatic metabolism is a unique and fascinating biochemical process that has no counterpart in avian or mammalian systems. The process is long and complex, and it interfaces three metabolic processes in cell organization: the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. This process also represents the most complicated flow of carbon in plants that we know of today.
