The paper shows that beetle larvae mimic floral scents to attract bees by biosynthesizing volatile compounds similar to those of flowers.

The paper reveals an alternative pathway in eudicot plants for indole synthesis, where a non-catalytic TSB-like paralogue hijacks TSA to produce indole for defense.

The paper identifies two CYP450 enzymes in Tabernanthe iboga responsible for oxidative modifications of tabersonine scaffolds using a streamlined screening strategy in Nicotiana benthamiana.

The paper identifies biosynthetic genes and pathways for phenylphenalenones and linear diarylheptanoid derivatives in Musella lasiocarpa using transcriptomics and biochemical assays.
