Keto acids and free amino acids during leaf growth in Bauhinia purpurea L.
The biosynthesis of keto acids and free amino acids was studied during the growth of Bauhinia purpurea leaves. Alpha-KGA, OAA, pyruvic acid and PEP are the important keto acids observed at various stages. The first 2 metabolites show a progressive increase and PEP leads to OAA pathway is very active during the process of growth.
