Tandem gene duplications drive divergent evolution of caffeine and crocin biosynthetic pathways in plants

BACKGROUND: Plants have evolved a panoply of specialized metabolites that increase their environmental fitness. Two examples are caffeine, a purine psychotropic alkaloid, and crocins, a group of glycosylated apocarotenoid pigments. Both classes of compounds are found in a handful of distantly relate...
