Quinoa produces an insect molting hormone through a plant biosynthetic gene cluster

This study identifies a plant biosynthetic pathway in quinoa that produces the insect molting hormone 20E through a seven-gene cluster involving FAH and 2OGD enzymes.

Resolving Phytophthora α2 hormone biosynthesis reveals species-specific mechanisms for mating type regulation

The paper identifies a conserved gene cluster linking mating type to hormone biosynthesis in Phytophthora species and shows species-specific mechanisms for mating type regulation.
