A chromosome-level Camptotheca acuminata genome assembly provides insights into the evolutionary origin of camptothecin biosynthesis

Camptothecin is a monoterpene indole alkaloid with anti-tumor activity. Here, the authors assemble the genome of the camptothecin producing plant Camptotheca acuminata and provide insights into the evolutionary origin of camptothecin biosynthesis by comparing to the vinblastine and vincristine biosy...

Sumario:Camptothecin is a monoterpene indole alkaloid with anti-tumor activity. Here, the authors assemble the genome of the camptothecin producing plant Camptotheca acuminata and provide insights into the evolutionary origin of camptothecin biosynthesis by comparing to the vinblastine and vincristine biosynthetic pathway in Catharanthus roseus.
