Momilactone biosynthesis pathway and clusters of momilactone A biosynthetic genes (MABGCs) in grass genomes.

(a) Momilactone A biosynthesis pathway in rice. Key enzymes for each catalysis reaction are indicated.

(b) Genomic distribution of momilactone biosynthetic genes and their homologs in grass genomes. Left panel shows the phylogenetic topology of grass species. Red, purple, and green dots in front of the species scientific names represent the presence of intact MABGCs, partial MABGCs, and other MABGC‐like clusters, respectively. Right panel displays the micro‐genomic synteny of MABGCs and MABGC‐like genes among multi‐genomes. Gray rectangle elements represent other genes near the genomic regions of MABGC and MABGC‐like clusters. [Colour figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
