This project investigates the biosynthetic pathways of plant natural products to enhance the production of valuable medicinal compounds. It utilizes modern sequencing and bioinformatics to identify genes involved in these pathways, aiming to unlock new chemical diversity for potential applications.
Plants, as sessile organisms, synthesize complex molecules for defense and signaling.
Humans have long exploited the potent medicinal activities of these plant natural products: artemisinin from sweet wormwood is used to cure malaria, vincristine from Madagascar periwinkle is used to treat cancer, and morphine from poppy alleviates pain.
Synthetic biology approaches are being used with increasing success to overproduce these expensive molecules, which are often present at low levels in the plant…
