Evolution of a flipped pathway creates metabolic innovation in tomato trichomes through BAHD enzyme promiscuity

Plants produce large numbers of structurally diverse metabolites through multistep pathways that often use the same precursors. Here the authors utilize the pathway leading to the production of acylated sucroses in the tomato plant to illustrate how metabolite diversity can arise through biochemical...
