概要
Metabolic experiments with deuterium-labeled castasterone in seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza saliva and Lycopersicon esculentum, and cultured cells of Catharanthus roseus were performed, and the metabolites were analyzed by GC-MS. In all the plant species examined, [2H3]28-norcastasterone was identified as a metabolite of [26,28-2H6]castasterone, indicating that castasterone is the biosynthetic origin of 28-norcastasterone. Moreover, the natural occurrence of 28-norcastasterone and 28-nortyphasterol in seedlings of A. thaliana has been demonstrated. This is the first report of the natural occurrence of 28-nortyphasterol in plants.
