Abstract
The benzoxazinoid biosynthetic pathway is of monophyletic origin in the Poaceae. In the dicots Aphelandra squarrosa, Consolida orientalis, and Lamium galeobdolon, benzoxazinoid biosynthesis is analogously organised: The branchpoint is established by a homolog of the alpha-subunit of tryptophan synthase, P450 enzymes catalyse hydroxylations and at least the first hydroxylation reaction is identical in dicots and Poaceae. The toxic aglucon is glucosylated by an UDP-glucosyltransferase.
