De Novo Transcriptome Sequencing in Trigonella foenum-graecum L. to Identify Genes Involved in the Biosynthesis of Diosgenin

The Plant Genome, 2013
T L. (fenugreek) is a viable alternative for production of diosgenin because of its shorter growing cycle, lower production costs, and consistent yield and quality.

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 Sci
Diosgenin, 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.

The genome of Dioscorea zingiberensis sheds light on the biosynthesis, origin and evolution of the medicinally important diosgenin saponins

Horticulture Research, 2022
Abstract Diosgenin saponins isolated from Dioscorea species such as D. zingiberensis exhibit a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. Diosgenin, the aglycone of diosgenin saponins, is an important starting material for the production of steroidal drugs. However, how plants produce diosgenin saponins and the origin and evolution of

Melatonin confers fenugreek tolerance to salinity stress by stimulating the biosynthesis processes of enzymatic, non-enzymatic antioxidants, and diosgenin content

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Salinity-induced stress is widely considered a main plant-growth-limiting factor. The positive effects of melatonin in modulating abiotic stresses have led this hormone to be referred to as a growth regulator in plants.

Exogenous 24-epibrassinolide ameliorates tolerance to high-temperature by adjusting the biosynthesis of pigments, enzymatic, non-enzymatic antioxidants, and diosgenin content in fenugreek

Scientific Reports, 2023
High-temperature stress is widely considered a main plant-growth-limiting factor. The positive effects of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) as analogs of brassinosteroids (BRs) in modulating abiotic stresses have led this hormone to be referred to as a growth ...
