Biosynthesis of Phenylpropanoids
Description: Phenylpropanoid Biosynthesis generates a large amount of secondary metabolites dervied from phenylalanine or intermediates of the shikimate pathway. Phenylpropanoids contribute to the biotic and abiotic stimuli of plants, playing a vital role as stress indicators. They also function as both structural and signaling molecules.
Within this pathway, methylation and hydroxylation generate coumaric acid and other acids. Ultimately the reduction of these acids results in corresponding aldehydes and alcohols. Alcohols are the starting compounds for bio-synthesis of lignin.
