| Abstract: | Tracer studies with aspartic acid-[4-14C], alanine-[1-14C] acetate-[2-14C] and diaminopimelic acid-[1,(7)-14C] injected into the developing endosperm of maize revealed that the biosynthesis of lysine and other amino acids occurs in this organ. The data suggest that lysine is synthesized via the diaminopimelic acid pathway. |
