Vinca drug components accumulate exclusively in leaf exudates of Madagascar periwinkle. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2010 The monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) of Madagascar periwinkle ( Catharanthus roseus ) continue to be the most important source of natural drugs in chemotherapy treatments for a range of human cancers. These anticancer drugs are derived from the coupling of catharanthine and vindoline to yield powerful dimeric ...

A 7-Deoxyloganetic Acid Glucosyltransferase Contributes a Key Step in Secologanin Biosynthesis in Madagascar Periwinkle [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2013 Abstract Iridoids form a broad and versatile class of biologically active molecules found in thousands of plant species. In addition to the many hundreds of iridoids occurring in plants, some iridoids, such as secologanin, serve as key building blocks in the biosynthesis of thousands of monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) and many ...

Opium poppy and Madagascar periwinkle: model non‐model systems to investigate alkaloid biosynthesis in plants [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2008 SummaryAlkaloids represent a large and diverse group of compounds that are related by the occurrence of a nitrogen atom within a heterocyclic backbone. Unlike other types of secondary metabolites, the various structural categories of alkaloids are unrelated in terms of biosynthesis and evolution.

Inductive Effects of Carbohydrates and Plant Regeneration via Anther Culture in Madagascar Periwinkle [PDF]
Advances in Zoology and Botany, 2021 Anther culture has emerged as an alternative for traditional plant breeding practices for homozygosity development, which in the case of medical plants resulting in increased yield of phytoconstituents. The response of anthers during culture is governed by the various constituents of the nutrient media.

Expressed sequence tags from Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2006 The Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) is well known to produce the chemotherapeutic anticancer agents, vinblastine and vincristine. In spite of its importance, no expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis of this plant has been reported. Two cDNA libraries were generated from RNA isolated from the base part of young leaves and from root tips to ...
