Despite the availability of only a limited number of biosynthetic genes, the research on C. roseus has already led to a broad scientific spin-off and it is clear that many interesting results can be expected when more genes become available.

expression of the eight genes encoding this pathway, together with two genes boosting precursor formation and two downstream alkaloid biosynthesis genes, in an alternative plant host allows the heterologous production of the complex MIA strictosidine, which confirms the functionality of all enzymes of the pathway and highlights their utility for synthetic biology programmes.
Catharanthus terpenoid indole alkaloids: biosynthesis and regulation

Most of the work focussed on early steps of the pathway, particularly the discovery of the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP)-pathway leading to terpenoids, and much progress has been made at alkaloid regulatory level.

Results show that coordinate induction of the biosynthetic genes forms at least part of the mechanism for the methyl jasmonate-induced increase in TIA production, and new insight in SGD localization has significant implications for the understanding of the complex intracellular trafficking of metabolic intermediates during TIA biosynthesis.
