Secondary metabolites not only play vital role in plant defense against herbivory and other
interspecies defenses but also used by humans as medicines, flavorings, pharmaceuticals …

Plant secondary biosynthetic pathways are exceedingly inducible by elicitors and facilitate
enhanced metabolite production using plant cell tissue and organ cultures. Elicitors can …

Understanding the systems-level actions of transcriptional responses to hormones provides
insight into how the genome is reprogrammed in response to environmental stimuli. Here …

Centella asiatica accumulates large quantities of pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins,
collectively known as centelloids. These terpenoids include asiaticoside, centelloside …

Abstract Centella asiatica L.(Gotu Kola) is a nutritionally important plant and a valued
traditional medicine in South East Asia. In this review, the chemical composition, nutritional …

Glycyrrhiza glabra L.(licorice) is a medicinal species rich in the specialised plant metabolite
glycyrrhizin. It has been previously proposed that drought, which is increasing in importance …

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L. var. glabra, Fabaceae) is considered as a model plant
synthesizing triterpenoid secondary compounds. It is known that glycyrrhizin is accumulated …

Glycyrrhiza glabra is an important medicinal plant throughout the world. Glycyrrhizin is a
triterpenoid that is among the most important secondary metabolites produced by liquorice …

Triterpenoid saponins are a class of plant secondary metabolites with structure derived from
the precursor oxidosqualene in which one or more sugar residues are added. They have a …

The interplay between steroids and triterpenoids, compounds sharing the same biosynthetic
pathway but exerting distinctive functions, is an important part of the defense strategy of …
