Abstract

L-Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5) catalyzes the first reaction (L-phenylalanine^frawj-cin-namate+NH3) in the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids in higher plants and fungi.1>2) PAL activity increases in response to various stimuli, such as wounding,3' light, 4) ethylene,5' and elicitor.6-7' Therefore, PAL is sup-
