• Finding and analyzing plant metabolic gene clusters 

      Osbourn, A.; Papadopoulou, K. K.; Qi, X.; Field, B.; Wegel, E. (2012)
      Plants produce an array of diverse secondary metabolites with important ecological functions, providing protection against pests, diseases, and abiotic stresses. Secondary metabolites are also a rich source of bioactive ...
    • A metabolic gene cluster in Lotus japonicus discloses novel enzyme functions and products in triterpene biosynthesis 

      Krokida, A.; Delis, C.; Geisler, K.; Garagounis, C.; Tsikou, D.; Pena-Rodriguez, L. M.; Katsarou, D.; Field, B.; Osbourn, A. E.; Papadopoulou, K. K. (2013)
      Genes for triterpene biosynthetic pathways exist as metabolic gene clusters in oat and Arabidopsis thaliana plants. We characterized the presence of an analogous gene cluster in the model legume Lotus japonicus. In the ...
