Abstract

An amino acid derivative isolated from seedlings of Avena sativa and Oryza sativa, along with avenic acid A and its derivatives which possess a chelating ability with iron ions, has been shown to be nicotianamine. The co-occurrence of nicotianamine and avenic acids in the same plant, as well as their structural similarity, reveals their close biosynthetic relationship.
