Role of the phloem in the biochemistry and ecophysiology of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid metabolism

Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are a diverse group of biologically active specialized metabolites produced mainly in four plant families. BIA metabolism is likely of monophyletic origin and involves multiple enzymes yielding structurally diverse compounds. Several BIAs possess defensive propert...
