Independent evolution of ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis

Maite Colinas, Clara Morweiser, Olivia Dittberner, Bianca Chioca, Ryan M. Alam, Helena Leucke, Yoko Nakamura, Delia Ayled Serna Guerrero, Sarah Heinicke, Maritta Kunert, Jens Wurlitzer, Kerstin Ploss, Benke Hong, Veit Grabe, Adriana A. Lopes, Sarah Ellen O'Connor

This study shows that ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis evolved independently in two plant species using different monoterpene precursors and non-enzymatic reactions.
