Deletion and tandem duplications of biosynthetic genes drive the diversity of triterpenoids in Aralia elata

Deletion and tandem duplications of biosynthetic genes drive the diversity of triterpenoids in Aralia elata

Unlike Panax species, which can produce dammarane-type saponins, Aralia elata can only synthesize oleananetype saponins. Here, the authors reveal that the loss of the dammaranediol synthase-encoding gene and tandem duplication of triterpene biosynthetic genes drive structural divergences of saponins...
