A chromosome-level genome assembly of Lycoris radiata reveals the evolutionary origin of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids and elucidates the complete galanthamine biosynthetic pathway
Amaryllidaceae alkaloids (AmAs) comprise a structurally diverse group of specialized metabolites produced almost exclusively by species of the Amaryllidoideae subfamily and are of substantial pharmacological importance. However, the limited availability of high-quality genomes from Amaryllidoideae plants has constraine...
