orthologs across diverse Lamiaceae subfamilies revealed novel chemistry and their central role in furanoclerodane biosynthesis, providing insights into the metabolic landscape and dynamic evolution of this plant family over approximately 50 million years. These findings pave the way for targeted biosynthetic engineering efforts and the sustainable production of furanoclerodane compounds, offering promising prospects for agricultural and pharmaceutical applications.
