Abstract
Feeding dl-tyrosine-2-C14 to sprouting barley resulted in the formation of radioactive hordenine and N-methyltyramine in the roots. Isolation and degradation of these alkaloids showed that all the activity was located in the α-carbon atom of the side chain, thus indicating that tyrosine is a precursor of N-methyltyramine and hordenine.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
