trans-Ribosylzeatin

Its Biosynthesis in Zea mays Endosperm and the Mycorrhizal Fungus, Rhizopogon roseolus¹

^a Department of Biochemistry, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

When [8-¹⁴C]-N⁶-(²-isopentenyl) adenosine is incubated with the endosperm of corn (2 weeks after pollination), it is converted to [¹⁴C]-N⁶-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-trans-enyl) adenosine, trans-ribosylzeatin. This biosynthetic step, N⁶-(²-isopentenyl) adenosine to ribosylzeatin, also occurs in the mycorrhizal fungus, Rhizopogon roseolus.
