Abstract excerpt
Tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) converts tryptophan (Trp) into tryptamine, consequently increasing the metabolic flow of tryptophan derivatives into the production of secondary metabolites such as indole alkaloids. We inserted an expression cassette containing OsTDC, a putative tryptophan decarboxylase gene from rice, into an expression plasmid vector containing OASA1D, the feedback-resistant anthranilate synthase...
