Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 694-718, March 2026.Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.
