This study identifies and reconstitutes the biosynthetic pathway for Securinega alkaloids in Flueggea suffruticosa, revealing a connection to cyanogenic glucoside biosynthesis.

This paper reconstructs the complete nicotine biosynthesis pathway in vitro and in planta, identifying key enzymes and providing structural insights.

This study identifies OLADOs, a new class of eukaryotic decarboxylases involved in alkaloid biosynthesis, showing their parallel evolution from bacterial-like enzymes.
