Next-generation sequencing of representational difference analysis products for identification of genes involved in diosgenin biosynthesis in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) [PDF]
Planta, 2017 Representational difference analysis of cDNA was performed and differential products were sequenced and annotated. Candidate genes involved in biosynthesis of diosgenin in fenugreek were identified. Detailed mechanism of diosgenin synthesis was proposed. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is a valuable medicinal and crop plant.

The Functional Characterization of DzCYP72A12-4 Related to Diosgenin Biosynthesis and Drought Adaptability in Dioscorea zingiberensis. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 Dioscorea zingiberensis is a perennial herb famous for the production of diosgenin, which is a valuable initial material for the industrial synthesis of steroid drugs. Sterol C26-hydroxylases, such as TfCYP72A616 and PpCYP72A613, play an important role in the diosgenin biosynthesis pathway.

An HD-ZIP I Transcription Factor DZHDZ32 Upregulates Diosgenin Biosynthesis in <i>Dioscorea zingiberensis</i>. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciDiosgenin, a crucial precursor for steroidal drug production, has poorly understood regulatory pathways. Diosgenin is the primary active component of Dioscorea zingiberensis. Notably, D. zingiberensis also possesses the highest diosgenin content among Dioscorea species, reaching up to 16.15% of dry weight.
