Notably, the genes coding for the major proteases involved in senescence-associated protein degradation are largely unknown (Distelfeld et al., 2014). Pool Sizes of Protein-Bound and Free Amino Acids in Plants Considering the manifold functions of the individual amino acids, their pool sizes are ...
Instances of dissimilarity occur primarily in the ability or inability to synthesize a particular amino acid. Thus, while plants, animals and microorganisms utilize generally the same amino acids for protein synthesis and other metabolic functions, they differ greatly in synthetic capacity. Whereas the ...
Although, proline has been vastly studied for its role as a compatible solute in mitigating abiotic stress effects in plants, other amino acids (both proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic) have received considerably less attention in this context. This chapter provides the current state of knowledge ...

Plants and bacteria synthesize all 20 common amino acids. Mammals can synthesize about half; the others are required in the diet (essential amino acids). Among the nonessential amino acids, glutamate is formed by reductive amination of alpha-ketoglutarate and serves as the precursor of glutamine,...
The use of Genetic Code Expansion technology to enable the site-specific incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins in living cells has transformed our ability to study biological processes and provided the exciting potential to develop modern medicines1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. The...
Stress Tolerance and Crop Resilience:Amino acid fertilizers play a crucial role in enhancing crop resilience and stress tolerance, enabling plants to withstand environmental stresses such as drought, heat, salinity, and disease. Amino acids act as osmoprotectants and antioxidants, helping plants maintain...

Free amino acids in plants at the stages of wintering and the beginning of growth were analyzed under natural conditions. From the major amino acid contents, the pools were separated into the following types: 1) a group which accumulated arginine alone (11 out of 31 samples); 2) a group ...
Amino acids are derived from compounds in the glycolytic-, the citric acid-, and the pentose phosphate pathways. Biosynthetic systems in different evolutionary categories may vary. Bacteria and plants are normally able to synthesize all the 20 primary amino acids, whereas animals depend primarily on...
