摘要
The biosynthesis of N-hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs), such as feruloyltyramine, p-coumaroyltyramine, feruloylserotonin, and p-coumaroylserotonin, in pepper plants was investigated in view of the activity of their corresponding enzymes and substrate levels. Almost all HCAAs were found in flowers, whereas the enzyme activity essential for HCAA biosynthesis seemed to be expressed constitutively in all tissues tested. The highest levels of the biogenic amines tyramine and serotonin. the key amine substrates, were also found in flowers, indirectly suggesting that the amine substrates play an important regulatory role in the synthesis of HCAAs.
