The paper identifies convergent biosynthetic pathways for 20-hydroxyecdysone in spinach, quinoa, and Ajuga, revealing distinct gene clusters and evolutionary convergence.

This study identifies scaffold-forming enzymes and a transporter involved in huperzine A biosynthesis in clubmosses using metabolic conservation.

This study traces the evolutionary origin of a plant halogenase by showing it evolved from a flavonol synthase gene through duplication, neofunctionalization, and structural changes.

This paper introduces a genetically encoded fluorescent reporter for real-time measurement of polyamine levels in single cells and identifies a link between mitochondrial respiration and polyamine import in Parkinson's disease.
