Metabolism of the Folate Precursor p-Aminobenzoate in Plants: GLUCOSE ESTER FORMATION AND VACUOLAR STORAGE

Plants produce p-aminobenzoate (pABA) in chloroplasts and use it for folate synthesis in mitochondria. In plant tissues, however, pABA is known to occur predominantly as its glucose ester (pABA-Glc), and the role of this metabolite in folate synthesis has not been defined. In this study, the UDP-glu...
