title: Methionine metabolism in apple tissue.
abstract: A metabolic intermediate isolated from apple tissue fed either methionine or 5'-methylthioadenosine has been tentatively identified as a methionine-pyridoxal Schiff base. The formation of this compound is discussed in relation to ethylene biosynthesis.
