Adaptive metabolic gene clusters as toolkits for chemical innovation : investigation of the origin of the avenacin gene cluster for synthesis of defense compounds in oats
Operon-like gene clusters are functional cassettes of physically linked and non-homologous genes involved in the same pathway. To date, 20 such plant gene clusters have been discovered, all of which are involved in specialised metabolism. Plant gene clusters raise interesting biological questions ab...
