Oryza sativa "Oryza sativa" var. "indica" rice agriculture, before the truly 'wetland' rice "Oryza sativa" var. "japonica", arrived around 2000 BC. Rice was cultivated in the Indus Valley civilization (3rd millennium BC). Agricultural activity during the second millennium BC included rice cultivation in the Kashmir and Harrappan regions. Mixed farming was the basis of Indus valley economy. According to Zohary and Hopf (2000, p. 91), "O. sativa" was recovered from a grave at Susa in Iran (dated to the first century AD) at one end of the ancient world, while at the same time rice was grown in the Po valley in
Arogenate dehydratase hybrida", "Sorghum bicolor"", "and "Oryza sativa"", "which are all considered higher-order plants. "Erwinia herbicola"" and Pseudomonas aeruginosa"" "are known to" "have homologues for cyclohexadienyl dehydratase. Of the plants with ADT homologues, both "Arabidopsis thaliana "and "Petunia hybrida "are known to have paralogues for the gene (six and three, respectively). Arogenate dehydratase Arogenate dehydratase (ADT) (EC 4.2.1.91) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-arogenate, but 3 products:L-phenylalanine, HO, and CO. Certain forms of the protein have the potential to catalyze a second reaction, L-prephenate → L-phenylpyruvate + HO + CO This enzyme participates
