Abstract: | When 2-14C]cyclopentenylglycine was synthesized and fed to seedlings of Turnera ulmifolia, the label was incorporated into the nitrile group of the cyanogenic glycoside deidaclin. The amino acid cyclopentenylglycine was also found to occur naturally in Turnera ulmifolia. These findings indicate that cyclopentenyl cyanogenic glycosides are synthesized from the corresponding amino acids by the same pathway utilized in the biosynthesis of other cyanogenic glycosides. |
