Alkaloid biosynthesis and metabolic profiling responses to jasmonic acid elicitation in Hamelia patens plants by NMR-based metabolomics

Conclusion Correlations between primary and secondary metabolism biosynthetic pathways, such as the alkaloid and chlorogenic acid biosynthesis were found. Also, their implications in the plant fitness to stress are proposed. Confirmation of tryptophan as a precursor of MIA and MOA, via shikimate pathway, was done by L-[3′-14C]-tryptophan feeding.
