Plant natural products: the molecular genetic basis of biosynthetic diversity.
Significant advances have been made concerning the biosynthesis, regulation and genetic manipulation of plant natural products. These include insights into the structural biology of isoprenoid cyclization and polyketide condensation reactions, a better understanding of the molecular biology of plant cytochrome P450s and O-methyltransferases, and new information on the effects of natural products on human health.
