The synthesis of amino acids in plants

  • Chapter
Der Stickstoffumsatz / Nitrogen Metabolism

Abstract

Amino acids, both in the free form and as constituents of protein, occupy a central position in the metabolism of all organisms, and the pathways of amino acid metabolism, as far as they are known, are for the most part quite similar from one organism to another. Instances of dissimilarity occur primarily in the ability or inability to synthesize a particular amino acid. Thus, while plants, animals and microorganisms utilize generally the same amino acids for protein synthesis and other metabolic functions, they differ greatly in synthetic capacity. Whereas the plant can produce all the amino acids it requires, animals and many microorganisms must obtain several of the amino acids preformed, in their food or culture medium. Unfortunately, since the biosynthesis of amino acids has received less attention in plants than in other organisms (the amides are a notable exception to this statement), it will be necessary in this review to draw heavily on findings from animals and microorganisms.
