Phylogenetically distant enzymes localized in cytosol and plastids drive citral biosynthesis in lemongrass

This study identifies two phylogenetically distant enzymes, CfADH1 and CfAKR2b, localized in cytosol and plastids, that drive citral biosynthesis in lemongrass.

Functional characterization of two glycosyltransferases from Withania somnifera illuminates their role in withanosides biosynthesis and defence against bacteria

This study functionally characterizes two glycosyltransferases in Ashwagandha, showing their roles in withanoside biosynthesis and defense against bacterial pathogens.

Analysis of root volatiles and functional characterization of a root-specific germacrene A synthase in Artemisia pallens

The paper identifies and functionally characterizes a root-specific terpene synthase in Artemisia pallens that produces major root volatiles.

The cytochrome P450 enzyme WsCYP71B35 from Withania somnifera has a role in withanolides biosynthesis and defense against bacteria

This study characterizes WsCYP71B35, a cytochrome P450 enzyme in Ashwagandha, showing its role in withanolides biosynthesis and bacterial defense.

Rho of plant GTPases with geranylgeranylation motif modulate monoterpene indole alkaloid biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus

This study identifies CrROP3 and CrROP5 as geranylgeranylated ROP GTPases that positively regulate monoterpene indole alkaloid biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus.
