Ryosuke Munakata et al. describe the isolation of a phenylpropane-specific prenyltransferase gene from medicinal plant Artemisia capillaris. This gene encodes a membrane-bound enzyme that accepts p-coumaric acid, ultimately yielding artepillin C, providing insights into the synthetic production of this compound.
