Developmental Methylome of the Medicinal Plant <i>Catharanthus roseus</i> Unravels the Tissue-Specific Control of the Monoterpene Indole Alkaloid Pathway by DNA Methylation

Developmental Methylome of the Medicinal Plant <i>Catharanthus roseus</i> Unravels the Tissue-Specific Control of the Monoterpene Indole Alkaloid Pathway by DNA Methylation

<i>Catharanthus roseus</i> produces a wide spectrum of monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs). MIA biosynthesis requires a tightly coordinated pathway involving more than 30 enzymatic steps that are spatio-temporally and environmentally regulated so that some MIAs specifically accumulate in...
