Plant natural products have been extensively exploited in food, medicine, flavor, cosmetic,
renewable fuel, and other industrial sectors. Synthetic biology has recently emerged as a …

In plants, high carbon flux is committed to the biosynthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and
tryptophan, owing to their roles not only in the production of proteins, but also as precursors …

Flavonoids are major secondary metabolites derived from the plant phenylpropanoid
pathway that play important roles in plant development and also have benefits for human …

The plant shikimate pathway directs bulk carbon flow toward biosynthesis of aromatic amino
acids (AAAs, ie tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan) and numerous aromatic …

The aromatic amino acids (AAAs) phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan are basic protein
units and precursors of diverse specialized metabolites that are essential for plant growth …

Vascular plants direct large amounts of carbon to produce the aromatic amino acid
phenylalanine to support the production of lignin and other phenylpropanoids. Uniquely …

The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) promotes resistance to biotic stress by stimulating the
degradation of JASMONATE ZIM-DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins, which relieves repression on …
