## Abstract Cell‐free systems from __Catharanthus roseus__ plants are utilized for various studies relating to the biosynthesis of indole alkaloids. Tryptamine (**5**) and secologanin (**6**), two fundamental building units, are shown to be incorporated into the alkaloid vindoline (**7**). In anoth
In this article, we present a review of the current state of metabolic engineering in Catharanthus roseus. A significant amount of research has contributed to characterization of several individual steps in the biosynthetic pathway of medicinally valuable alkaloids. However, knowledge of the regulat
