    Betalains are red and yellow alkaloid pigments derived from tyrosine. Previous studies showed that yellow pigments accumulate much less than red pigments. Through quantitative chemical analyses of different beet genotypes, this study found that increased tyrosine levels were positively correlated with elevated betalain accumulations among red but not yellow genotypes, suggesting that yellow beets are not efficiently converting tyrosine into betalain pigments. Thus, better utilization of the accumulated tyrosine can likely improve betaxanthin production in yellow beets.

    L-Tyrosine (Tyr) and its plant-derived natural products are essential in both plants and humans. In plants, Tyr is generally assumed to be synthesized in the plastids via arogenate dehydrogenase (ADH) that is strictly inhibited by Tyr. Here we identified non-plastidic Tyr-insensitive prephenate dehydrogenases (PDHs) uniquely present in legumes, providing molecular evidence for the diversification of primary metabolic Tyr pathway via an alternative cytosolic PDH pathway in plants. Also, the Tyr-insensitive property of the identified PDH enzymes has immediate impacts on metabolic engineering to improve the production of Tyr and Tyr-derived natural products.

    10. Plants use phenylalanine to produce abundant and diverse phenylpropanoid compounds, such as flavonoids, tannins, and lignin. Through phylogenetic, bioinformatic, and biochemical analyses of prephenate aminotransferase enzymes from plant and bacterial lineages, this study revealed unique evolutionary history and molecular changes of key enzymes responsible for phenylalanine biosynthesis in plants. The findings assist the rational design of antimicrobial drugs and herbicides, but also highlight the use of phylobiochemical characterization of enzymes from deep taxonomic lineages in determining key molecular changes that lead to the evolution of new metabolic pathways.
