Isolation and characterization of two differentially regulated tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) genes from Camptotheca acuminata (Decaisne) /

Camptothecin (CPT) is a valuable anti-cancer monoterpene alkaloid produced by the Chinese tree Camptotheca acuminata (Decaisne). Tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) supplies tryptamine for the indole moiety of CPT and its derivatives, and is considered a key step in monoterpene indole alkaloid biosynthe...
