We showed previously that gallic acid is produced in walnut from 3-dehydroshikimate by a shikimate dehydrogena...
...cco plants. GC-MS analysis of the transgenic tobacco revealed moderate, yet significant alterations in plant secondary metabolism, such as depleted phenolic acids, including gallic acid. We postulate that these effects are due to JrGGT1 and JrGGT2 activity, as JrGGT orthologs glycosylate these phenolic compounds in vitro. Moreover, Jr...
