The cover feature shows the partial assembly of a carmine puzzle. Co‐expression of genes from Aloe arborescens (top left), Streptomyces (bottom left) and Dactylopius coccus (bottom right) in Nicotiana benthamiana (background) lead to an accumulation of dcII, a glucosylated octaketide anthraquinone and a precursor of the popular natural colorant carminic acid (top right). More information can be found in the communication by B. Lindberg Møller, R. Kannangara et al. on page 1893 in Issue 19, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cbic.201700331).
