Article Synopsis
- Triterpenoid saponins are special compounds found in soapberry that are used in medicine and personal care products.
- Scientists studied the role of miRNAs, which are tiny molecules that help control how saponins are made in soapberries, and found over 3000 different miRNAs.
- They discovered specific miRNAs that influence saponin production and created networks showing how these miRNAs interact with other genes, helping to explain the process better.
Soapberry ( Gaertn.) pericarps are rich in valuable bioactive triterpenoid saponins. However, the saponin content dynamics and the molecular regulatory network of saponin biosynthesis in soapberry pericarps remain largely unclear.

However, the detailed roles of miRNAs in cold acclimation in fish are still unclear. In the present study, high-throughput sequencing was performed to identify miRNAs from 6 small RNA libraries from the zebrafish embryonic fibroblast ZF4 cells under control (28°C, 30 days) and cold-acclimation (18°C, 30 days) conditions.
