Post anthesis, loquat flowers emit volatile benzenoids, including phenylacetaldehyde, phenylethyl alcohol, and 2-phenethyl benzoate. Previous studies have shown that pyridoxal phosphate-dependent aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) produces phenylacetaldehyde from L-phenylalanine. Here, two <i>AADC</i> genes (<i>EjAADC1</i> and <i>EjAADC2</i>) were isolated from loquat (<i>Eriobotrya japonica</i>) flowers. The EjAADC1 and EjAADC2 proteins showed approximately 72% and 55% identity, respect ...[more]
