Abstract
Phalaenopsis orchids produce pyrrolizidine alkaloids of the phalaenopsine type. Homospermidine synthase, the first specific enzyme of pyrrolizidine alkaloid biosynthesis, and the related deoxyhypusine synthase were identified together with several pseudogenes as remnants of ongoing gene duplication events in orchids.
