| Research Abstract |
The objective of the research is to clarify the molecular mechanism on the seasonal change in biosynthetic pathways of rose scent 2-phenylethanol (2PE) in response to environment. Based on the feeding experiments of L-[2H8]phenylalanin ([2H8]LPhe) to rose flowers and the GCMS, and LCMS analyses, we have clarified that two new enzymes, AAAT and PPDC are involved in the new biosynthetic pathway from LPhe to 2PE (LPhe, PPA, PAld, 2PE). We have also confirmed that the pathway is actively operating under the environmental conditions at high temperature.
