| Abstract: | ![]()
Incorporation of [14C]-phenylalanine and [14C]-methionine into cinnamon cuttings suggests that synthesis of eugenol from phenylalanine involves exchange of the terminal carbon in the side chain with that from a donor molecule such as methionine whereas synthesis of cinnamic aldehyde incorporates phenylalanine in toto. |
