| Abstract: | The biosynthetic pathway of trans-2-hexenal, leaf aldehyde, in isolated chloroplasts of Thea sinensis leaves. was examined using a tracer experiment. A high and specific incorporation of radioactivity into cis-3-hexenal and trans-2-hexenal, was observed when linolenic acid-[U-14C] was incubated with the isolated chloroplasts. Thus, trans-2-hexenal was biosynthesized via cis-3-hexenal from linolenic acid in the chloroplasts. |
