Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-60909-9, published online 1 July 2025

In the version of this article initially published, there was a typographical error in the second paragraph of the “Identification of enzyme genes involved in iridoid glycoside biosynthesis” section, where in the text now reading “A total of 75 genes were identified,” 75 was originally written as “66.” In Fig. 5a, mussaenosidic acid, the orientation of the methyl and hydroxyl groups (now appearing at left and right of the structure) was mistakenly reversed. The text and figure are now amended in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
