Black rice is a source of iron, vitamin E, and antioxidants. The bran hull (outermost layer) of black rice contains one of the highest levels of anthocyanins found in food. The grain
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
