The Biochemistry of Manganese in Plants

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences ((DPSS,volume 33))

Abstract

In plants Mn has a role in many biochemical processes. However, unlike other essential trace elements such as Cu, Zn, Fe and Mo which are usually integral components of enzymes, Mn usually acts as an activator of enzymes and is often able to be replaced by other metal ions. Manganese resembles Mg in its biochemical function and is involved in activating enzyme-catalysed reactions including phosphorylations, decarboxylations, reductions and hydrolysis reactions and therefore affects processes such as respiration, amino acid synthesis, lignin biosynthesis and the level of hormones in plants. A list of plant enzymes which have been reported to be activated by Mn is given in Table 1.
