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 ...

Silencing of CrNPR1 and CrNPR3 Alters Plant Susceptibility to Periwinkle Leaf Yellowing Phytoplasma
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Phytoplasmas are prokaryotic plant pathogens that cause considerable loss in many economically important crops, and an increasing number of phytoplasma diseases are being reported on new hosts. Knowledge of plant defense mechanisms against such pathogens

Crystal structure of akuammicine, an indole alkaloid from Catharanthus roseus
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2017 The title compound, C20H22N2O2, an alkaloid isolated from the Madagascar periwinkle, crystallizes in P1 with two independent but closely similar molecules in the unit cell. The molecules are linked into pairs by two N—H...O=C hydrogen bonds. The absolute
