Discovery of the rosalexin pathway expands the modular network of maize diterpenoid phytoalexins

The evolutionary expansion of specialized metabolism has shaped the ability of plants to adapt to combined pest, disease, and environmental pressures. In maize (Zea mays), the duplication and divergence of ancestral gibberellin pathway genes have given rise to specialized kauralexin and dolabralexin diterpenoids that s...

Growth, signals, and survival: the evolutionary divergence of terpenoid metabolism in terrestrial plants.

Elucidating the mechanisms that generate this diversity, and the multifaceted roles that terpenoids play in plant ecology and physiology not only deepens the understanding of the evolutionary history of terrestrial plants, but also unlocks new opportunities for biotechnological innovation.
