This chapter highlights the major strategies used to identify the genes of plant -natural product biosynthetic pathways. One or two key examples that illustrate these strategies are provided. A wide range of enzyme classes have been identified using the approaches described in this review including P450 enzymes, terpene systhases, and glycosyltransferases. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach is discussed.
