LITERATURE
malfunction
plant tcd2 mutants deficient in the enzyme have reduced vigor, being dwarfed, with poor root development and low fertility. The mutant plants accumulate numerous dhurrin pathway-derived metabolites, some of which are similar to those observed in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana expressing the CYP79A1 and CYP71E1 genes. The tcd2 mutant suffers from self-intoxication because Sorghum does not have a feedback mechanism to inhibit the initial steps of dhurrin biosynthesis when the glucosyltransferase activity required to complete the synthesis of dhurrin is lacking. Phenotype, detailed overview
metabolism
physiological function
enzyme UGT85B1 is essential for formation of dhurrin in sorghum with no co-expressed endogenous UDP-glucosyltransferases able to replace it. Presence of metabolites in the tcd2 mutant which are suggested to be derived from dhurrin via endogenous pathways for nitrogen recovery, indicating which enzymes may be involved in such pathways, metabolites identification by LC-MS
