Cross-organelle coordination in yeast enhances production of valuable plant compounds

A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego has discovered a new way to make yeast cells more efficient "factories" for producing valuable plant compounds. The advance could enable the sustainable manufacturing of plant-derived chemicals used to help plants defend against disease, repel pests, attract pollinators, and withstand environmental stresses such as drought and heat.
