Opportunities in metabolic engineering to facilitate scalable alkaloid production
Numerous drugs and drug precursors in the current pharmacopoeia originate from plant sources. The limited yield of some bioactive compounds in plant tissues, however, presents a significant challenge for large-scale drug development. Metabolic engineering has facilitated the development of plant cel...
