Plants employ additional routes to spermine. In one pathway L-glutamine is the precursor to L-ornithine, after which the synthesis of spermine from L-ornithine follows the same pathway as in animals.
]


Another pathway in plants starts with decarboxylation of L-arginine to produce ]. The imine functional group in agmatine then is hydrolysed by ], releasing ], converting the ] group into a urea. The resulting ] is acted on by a ] to split off the urea group, leaving ]. After that the putrescine follows the same pathway to completing the synthesis of spermine.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Dewick|first1=Paul M|title=Medicinal Natural Products: a biosynthetic approach|date=2009|publisher=Wiley|location=Chichester U.K.|isbn=9780470742761|page=312|edition=3rd}}</ref>
