Dracaenogenins C and D, Two New 12(13→14)-Abeo-Spirostanols from the Red Resin of Dracaena cochinchinensis [PDF]

Molecules
The red resin of Dracaena cochinchinensis (Lour.) S.C. Chen, known as Chinese dragon’s blood, is formed through metabolic reprogramming following trunk injury, during which the original steroidal saponins are depleted and transformed.

Haplotype-resolved autotetraploid genome of Dioscorea nipponica provides insights into recent polyploidization, metabolic rewiring, and environmental adaptation. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY Whole‐genome duplication (WGD, or polyploidization) is a major evolutionary force in plants, yet the genomic, transcriptional, and metabolic consequences of autopolyploidy remain less understood than those of allopolyploidy. Dioscorea nipponica, a medicinal species producing diosgenin‐type steroidal saponins, harbors both diploid and ...
