Article Synopsis
- Triterpenoid saponins and flavonoids from P. tenuifolia exhibit pharmacological activities, with HMGR and CHS as key enzymes in their biosynthesis.
- The PtHMGR and PtCHS genes were successfully cloned and characterized, showing significant homology to similar proteins in other species and revealing specific structural features like hydrophobicity and conserved motifs.
- Expression analysis indicated that PtHMGR is predominantly active in roots and correlates with saponin content, while PtCHS is mainly expressed in stems and correlates positively with flavonoid content but negatively with polygalaxanthone III.
Pinellia ternata, a traditional Chinese medicine, is well-renowned for its effectiveness in treating sickness such as coughs with excessive phlegm, vomiting, and nausea. The nucleoside components of P. ternata have been shown to have antitumor activity.
