Fig. 1From: Stress, nutrients and genotype: understanding and managing asparagine accumulation in wheat grainThe reactions of asparagine synthetase (ASN) and asparaginase (ASNS). Asparagine and glutamate are formed from aspartate and glutamine in an ATP-dependent reaction catalysed by ASN. Asparagine is broken down into aspartate in a hydrolysis reaction catalysed by ASNS, releasing ammoniaBack to article page
