Independent evolution of rosmarinic acid biosynthesis in two sister families under the Lamiids clade of flowering plants
3 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
As a means to maintain their sessile lifestyle amid challenging environments, plants produce an enormous diversity of compounds as chemical defenses against biotic and abiotic insults. The underpinning metabolic pathways that support the biosynthesis of these specialized chemicals in divergent plant species provide a rich arena for understanding the molecular evolution of complex metabolic traits. Rosmarinic acid...
