The regulation of aspartate derived amino acids in Arabidopsis thaliana is depicted as an integrated network involving pathway end products that act as allosteric effectors on enzymes in intermediate steps. Explain the downstream consequence of a reduction in the amount of S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM) on the overall flux of carbon through the various branches of this metabolic pathway. The first step in converting aspartate into other amino acids is the phosphorylation of aspartate. In A. thaliana, there are five distinct...

Why is Arabidopsis thaliana a good research tool? Select all that apply. It has a rapid life cycle. The genetic and physical maps of all 5 chromosomes are not yet complete. It produces very few seeds each generation. Self pollination (hermaphroditic) There are very few mutant lines available for genetic research It is easy to cultivate It has a small, diploid genome that has been completely sequenced since 2000.
