  • Title: Investigations of Canavanine Biochemistry in the Jack Bean Plant, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC: II. Canavanine Biosynthesis in the Developing Plant.
    Author: Rosenthal GA.
    Journal: Plant Physiol; 1972 Sep; 50(3):328-31. PubMed ID: 16658168.
    Abstract:
    The canavanine content of developing leaves of jack bean, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC., increases during leaf development. The leaf possesses the enzymes required for synthesizing canavanine by a cyclic series of reactions analogous to the ornithine-urea cycle. This reaction series involves the sequential formation of canaline, O-ureidohomoserine, and canavaninosuccinic acid.
