Oryza sativa Mountains of northern Luzon, Philippines. Glaszmann (1987) used isozymes to sort "O. sativa" into six groups: "japonica", "aromatic", "indica", "aus", "rayada", and "ashina". Garris "et al." (2004) used simple sequence repeats to sort "O. sativa" into five groups: "temperate japonica", "tropical japonica" and "aromatic" comprise the "japonica" varieties, while "indica" and "aus" comprise the "indica" varieties. Rice has been cultivated since ancient times and "oryza" is a classical Latin word for rice. "Sativa" means "cultivated". Debates on the origins of the domesticated rice are numerous. In 2011, genetic evidence showed that all forms of Asian rice, both "indica" and "japonica",
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
