Abstract
L-[U–14C]Leucine and L-[U–14C]valine were incorporated into geraniol (II) and citronellol (III) in Pelargonium roseum Bourbon. The labeling pattern demonstrated that in the higher plant some of the 3,3-dimethylallyl pyrophosphates originate from leucine and valine, not via the mevalonoid pathway, but by some alternate route.Keywords
