ABSTRACT
The metabolism of one-carbon (C1) units is vital to plants. It involves unique enzymes and takes place in four subcellular compartments. Plant C1 biochemistry has remained relatively unexplored, partly because of the low abundance or the lability of many of its enzymes and intermediates. Fortunately, DNA sequence databases now make it easier to characterize known C1 enzymes and to discover new ones, to identify pathways that might carry high C1 fluxes, and to use engineering to redirect C1 fluxes and to understand their control better.
