Abstract
Benzenoid compounds in plants are biosynthesised by two main pathways: the shikimic acid pathway and the acetate-malonate pathway (Chapter 4). In higher plants, a large number of aromatic compounds are derived from phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, end-products of the shikimic acid pathway. Some of these compounds are discussed in this chapter, others will he found in Chapters 7 and 9.
