Ethanolamine was shown to replace vitamin B6 in the nutrition of excised tomato roots grown in sterile culture (Boll, 1954a, 1959a). This replacement cannot be explained as a precursor effect (Boll, 1954a; Nillernot, 1962). An alternative explanation of the replacement was made by Boll (1954a, 1959a). The explanation involved negative feedback control, by ethanolamine, of a postulated serine decarboxylase yielding ethanolamine, and requiring pyridoxal phosphate as coenzyme. In this way, ethanolsmine would exert a sparing action on the limited amount of vitamin B6 which, as shown by Boll (1954a), is synthesized by the roots. [...]
