Biosynthesis of malonate in roots of soybean seedlings.
Many plants accumulate malonate, but it was shown earlier that malonate does not accumulate as a deadend product of metabolism in soybean (Glycine max v. Hodgson tissues. The metabolism of malonate in the soybean plant at the whole tissue and enzymic level was followed, and the pathway of malonate biosynthesis in young soybean root tissue was shown to be via acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase.
