Description:
Article Plants primarily synthesize phenylalanine in plastids via arogenate. Here, Yoo et al . provide evidence that petunia flowers also employ an alternative microbial-like pathway to synthesize phenylalanine that is partially localized in the cytosol and interconnected with tyrosine catabolism.
