Abstract
Three objectives were studied: determination of the biochemical mechanisms of an Arabidopsis thaliana allylic double bond reductase (AtDBR1) producing stress/defense metabolites, dihydrocinnamyl aldehydes, and the Arabidopsis cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (AtCAD5), as well as exploring the potential of utilizing next-generation sequencing to help identify unknown biochemical steps in formation of the lignan, podophyllotoxin, in Podophyllum species.
