Global transcriptome analysis of Huperzia serrata and identification of critical genes involved in the biosynthesis of huperzine A.
TL;DR: This study is the first report of global transcriptome analysis on all tissues of H. serrata, and critical genes involved in the biosynthesis of precursors and scaffold modifications of HupA were discovered and predicted.
Dirigent gene editing of gossypol enantiomers for toxicity-depleted cotton seeds

Identification and characterization of L-lysine decarboxylase from Huperzia serrata and its role in the metabolic pathway of lycopodium alkaloid
TL;DR: With the novel method, the enzymatic products of HsLDC and HsCAO, namely cadaverine and 5-aminopentanal, respectively, were detected simultaneously both in assay with purified enzymes and in transgenic tobacco leaves and paves the way for further elucidation of the pathway.

Mechanistic Insights into the Formation of the 6,10-Bicyclic Eunicellane Skeleton by the Bacterial Diterpene Synthase Bnd4.
TL;DR: The authors used a series of biochemical, bioinformatics, and theoretical experiments to investigate the mechanism of the first diterpene synthase known to form the eunicellane skeleton.

Insights into Pipecolic Acid Biosynthesis in Huperzia serrata
TL;DR: For the biosynthesis of Pip in Huperzia serrata, the mechanistic studies were evaluated and it was found that three intermediates possibly exist simultaneously as an equilibrium matter in the first-step reaction catalyzed by HsAld1.
