Characterisation and Functional Analysis of Isochorismate Synthase cDNA from Morinda citrifolia L.

Isochorismate synthase catalyzes the substrate chorismate in the presence of a metal ion (Mg2+) cofactor to isochorismate. Isochorismate is prominent in the shikimate pathway to produce siderophores, anthraquinones and salicylate. In previous study, a near complete cDNA encoding isochorismate synth...
