Scientific glossaryBio-Hack: Nutrición Precursora de la Ruta compuestos de la resinaOrigin: Yolia's safe educational catalogExact route: /biblioteca?ruta=glosario/bh01_ruta_cbga FULL TOPICBio-Hack: Nutrición Precursora de la Ruta compuestos de la resina Easy explanation It is nutrition designed to give the plant the "chemical ingredients" it needs to build its resin compounds: sulfur, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, and manganese. Medium explanation Each mineral plays a different role in the biosynthetic pathway: sulfur participates in olivetolic acid, phosphorus and magnesium in the MEP pathway and geranyl pyrophosphate, and iron/zinc/manganese in the geranyltransferase enzyme that joins those pieces together. Advanced explanation It provides sulfur (a precursor of olivetolic acid), phosphorus and magnesium (via the MEP pathway and geranyl pyrophosphate), and iron/zinc/manganese (cofactors of geranyltransferase). It's precursor nutrition — Yolia does not promise the final conversion to resin acids, it only ensures the actual chemical precursors are available.
