Adaptive evolution of the chrysanthemyl diphosphate synthase gene involved in irregular monoterpene metabolism

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Chrysanthemyl diphosphate synthase (CDS) is a key enzyme in biosynthetic pathways producing pyrethrins and irregular monoterpenes. These compounds are confined to plants of the tribe Anthemideae of the Asteraceae, and play an importa...
