Insights into angiosperm evolution and lineage-specialized lignan biosynthesis from the early-diverging Schisandra genome

Jiushi Liu, Ruilin Xiong, Tai‐Ping Zhou, Jia‐Yu Xue et autres

Schisandraceae, an early-diverging angiosperm lineage, produces dibenzocyclooctadiene (DBCOD) lignans, unique bioactive compounds with liver-protecting properties. Although DBCOD lignan chemodiversity is well documented, their biosynthesis and evolution remain unclear. Here, we present a high-quality Schisandra chinensis genome, completing genomic representation of early angiosperms. …
