The purpose of this question is to help me see what can be done for future undertakings with the determination of biosynthetic pathway. I provided an article that may help me with my question.

Maurice Ekpenyong

Characterization of biosynthetic pathways, be they in plants, animals or microorganisms, offer useful and exploitable information for production of relevant metabolites and control or regulation of gene products of some pathway intermediates. Understanding plant biosynthetic pathways is crucial for novel drug discovery in medicine and development of eco-friendly agricultural practices for sustainable control of food crises. Moreover, designed biosynthetic pathways with altered activities can help create new structural diversity, not found in nature. http://www.plantcell.org/content/28/10/2651.
