a OpWRKY2 positively regulates camptothecin biosynthesis by binding a W-box in the OpTDC promoter and activating the expression of OpTDC. OpWRKY1 negatively regulates camptothecin biosynthesis by binding two W-boxes in the OpCPR promoter, while OpWRKY3 positively regulates camptothecin biosynthesis by binding one W-box in the OpCPR promoter. b Camptothecin biosynthetic pathway in O. pumila. Tryptophan decarboxylase (OpTDC) catalyzes the conversion of tryptophan to tryptamine. Dashed lines represent interactions that may be indirect.
