Metabolism of hydrogen cyanide by higher plants.

A survey has been made of the occurrence and distribution of three enzymes which metabolize cyanide in a variety of higher plants including both cyanogenic and non-cyanogenic species. The enzymes investigated were beta-cyanoalanine synthase, rhodanese and formamide hydrolyase. beta-Cyanoalanine synthase was found to be present in every higher plant tested whereas rhodanese was found to occur fa...

Fat Metabolism in Higher Plants

The discovery and isolation of the multienzyme system responsible for p oxidation of fatty acids to acetyl CoA’ have stimulated investigation of the synthesis of long chain fatty acids by multiple @ condensation of the acetyl CoA. In 1953 Van Baalen and Gurin (1) were the first to demonstrate that acetate was incorporated into fatty acids by aqueous extracts of pigeon liver. In 1953 Stansly and...

The metabolism of hexose and pentose phosphates in higher plants.

The pathway of carbohydrate degradation, which begins with the action of G-6-P dehydrogenase’ on G-6-P, has been studied by a number of workers (l-9). Their results have shown the operation of this scheme in a variety of tissues (yeast, red blood cells, and mammalian liver). The existence of G-6-P dehydrogenase in various seeds (10) suggests the occurrence of this system in higher plants. The p...

Shedding light on ethylene metabolism in higher plants

Ethylene metabolism in higher plants is regulated by a wide array of endogenous and environmental factors. During most physiological processes, ethylene levels are mainly determined by a strict control of the rate-limiting biosynthetic steps responsible for the production of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and its subsequent conversion to ethylene. Responsible for these reactions, t...

Ethylene biosynthesis in relation to cyanide metabolism

Cyanide is a co-product of ethylene biosynthesis in higher plants via the ACC pathway. In certain physiological states, such as fruit ripening and flower senescence, and in many environmental conditions, such as flooding and chilling, ethylene biosynthesis is greatly induced. Cyanide is toxic to plants if it accumulates in plant tissues; however, during fruit ripening, the co-product cyanide is...
