Versatility in acyltransferase activity completes chicoric acid biosynthesis in purple coneflower

Biosynthetic pathway of chicoric acid in purple coneflower has not been fully elucidated, though the compound has been shown to have potential health benefits. Here, the authors report the involvement of both BAHD and SCPL acyltransferases in its biosynthesis and show the pathway is unique to Echina...
