Polyphyletic Origin of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids within the Asteraceae. Evidence from Differential Tissue Expression of Homospermidine Synthase
The evolution of pathways within plant secondary metabolism has been studied by using the pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) as a model system. PAs are constitutively produced by plants as a defense against herbivores. The occurrence of PAs is restricted to certain unrelated families within the angiosper...
