Genome and Tissue-Specific Transcriptome of the Tropical Milkweed (<i>Asclepias curassavica</i>). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) serves as a host plant for monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) and other insect herbivores that can tolerate the abundant cardiac glycosides that are characteristic of this species. Cardiac glycosides, along with additional specialized metabolites, also contribute to the ethnobotanical uses of A ...
