Biosynthesis of ethylene. 4-methylmercapto-2-oxobutyric acid: an intermediate in the formation from methionine

The enzyme responsible for the conversion of methionine into a precursor of ethylene in cauliflower florets is a transaminase. The formation of 4-methyl-mercapto-2-oxobutyric acid by this enzyme has been shown. The oxo acid stimulates the synthesis of ethylene when added to floret tissue, and tracer...
