Metabolic Engineering of Medicinal Plants | Genetics
In this article we will discuss about the metabolic engineering of alkaloid biosynthesis and phenylpropanoids. Alkaloid Biosynthesis: Metabolic engineering of Alkaloid, belongs to the broad category of secondary metabolism. These nitrogenous compounds are used as active principle to combat various diseases. More than 10,000 alkaloids have been isolated and their structures elucidated. They have very important functions in plants and [...]
