This book covers the elementary knowledge of the regulation of biosynthesis of various amino acids in plants and the solicitation of this knowledge to the discovery of novel inhibitors of amino acid biosynthesis and for enhancing the nutritional value of amino acids. It delivers crisp coverage of major historical developments of the scientific discipline, so that readers will appreciate the past, understand the current state of the knowledge, and discover the future of the field. In biochemistry, amino acids having both the amine and the carboxylic acid groups attached to the first (alpha-) carbon atom have particular importance.
