Summary

The biosynthesis of keto acids and free amino acids was studied during the growth of Bauhinia purpurea leaves. α-KGA, OAA, pyruvic acid and PEP are the important keto acids observed at various stages. The first 2 metabolites show a progressive increase and PEP → OAA pathway is very active during the process of growth.
