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.

This paper identifies acyltransferase genes involved in ingenol-3-angelate biosynthesis in Euphorbia peplus and shows functional redundancy in acetylation steps.

The paper identifies BxdA, a lactonase in maize root bacteria, which enables metabolic adaptation to benzoxazinoids, enhancing bacterial growth under carbon limitation.
