“…12 This mutation led to a 97% reduction in enzyme activity compared to the WT PPO2. Lastly, mutations at the Arg128 position (homologous to Arg98, in Ambrosia artemisiifolia) has been reported in several species, such as A. tuberculatus, 10 A. palmeri, 17 A. retroflexus, 18,19 A. artemisiifolia, 20 and Euphorbia heterophylla. 21 The most common substitution is R128G (4 species), while R128M, R128I and R128L are present in only one species each (A. palmeri, A. tuberculatus and A. artemisiifolia, respectively).…”
