Biosynthesis of isoprenoids. Part III. Mechanism of alkylation during biosynthesis of stigmasterol in tissue cultures of higher plants
Abstract
The C-24 hydrogen atom of the Δ24 precursor is eliminated during biosynthesis of Stigmasterol in tissue cultures of Nicotiana tabaccum and Dioscorea tokoro. Thus the Δ24(25) intermediate is involved in Stigmasterol biosynthesis.
