Decoding a multifunctional biosynthetic gene cluster for post-chorismate metabolism in Arabidopsis
Plant Science Research WeeklyBiosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are groups of genes physically located in close proximity in a genomic region and can be thought of as a close-knit genomic orchestra. While these BGCs were thought to be rare in plants, unlike bacteria, Peng et al. takes the story a step ahead with the discovery of…
