Abstract
Metabolite profiling demonstrated the presence of 2-amino-5-hydroxypentanoic acid (5-hydroxynorvaline) in some C4 grass leaves. The production of this unusual amino acid was enhanced in the dehydrated leaves of two drought tolerant species, suggesting a beneficial role for drought resistance.
