A cell‐type‐specific regulon controlling monoterpene indole alkaloid biosynthesis with feedback and feedforward activation loops

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 945-960, January 2026.
Summary Monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIA) are a diverse class of plant natural products produced by a subset of lineages within the Asterid clade of eudicots. The diversity of MIAs provides a unique opportunity to study not only the evolution of biosynthetic genes but also their regulation.

Exogenous stimulation of Tanacetum vulgare roots with pipecolic acid leads to tissue‐specific responses in terpenoid composition

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 891-902, August 2025.
Tissue‐specific changes in terpenoid patterns in tansy are induced by simulated induction of systemic acquired resistance using pipercolic acid. Abstract Tanacetum vulgare L., tansy, is a perennial plant with highly variable terpenoid composition, with mono‐ and sesquiterpenoids being the most abundant.
