   Findings link a plant enzyme, flavin-containing monooxygenase, to the biosynthesis of a powerful growth hormone, elucidating important clues to the mechanism of plant hormone biosynthesis, which may eventually lead to physiological insights about mammalian biochemistry as well, according to John Cashman, Ph.D., HBRI Director.
   
   Investigators have discovered a key link between the metabolism of tryptamine by the flavin-containing monooxygenase and metabolites serving as powerful regulators of plant growth and development, including cell division and elongation, differentiation, tropisms and flowering.Research finding were reported by investigators Yunde Zhao, Ph.D., Joanne Chory, Ph.D., and their colleagues from the Salk Institute, John Cashman, Ph.D., of Human BioMolecular Research Institute and Jerry Cohen, Ph.D., from the University of Minnesota.

   Further genetic and biochemical analysis of Arabidopsis FMOs may yield important clues to understanding the physiological role of their mammalian counterparts, according to John Cashman, Ph.D.
