Abstract

Abstract: Steroidal saponins are a class of secondary metabolites widely existed in plants with strong physiological activity.The biosynthetic pathway of steroidal saponins is complex and regulated by many kinds of enzymes.This paper reviewed the research progress on the biosynthetic pathway of plant steroidal saponins and its key enzymes and genes,and give a brief outlook about the research prospects.

Key words: steroidal saponins, biosynthesis, cycloartenol, glycosyltransferase, glucosidase

CLC Number:

R932
