amyrin/glycine max

OBJECTIVE To clone and sequence the open reading frame of beta-amyrin synthase (bAS) from Glycyrrhiza uralensis. METHODS The primers were designed according to the cDNA sequence of beta-amyrin synthase from G. glabra reported by Hiroaki HAYASHI, and the open reading frame of beta-amyrin synthase was

Triterpenes exhibit a wide range of structural diversity produced by a sequence of biosynthetic reactions. Cyclization of oxidosqualene is the initial origin of structural diversity of skeletons in their biosynthesis, and subsequent regio- and stereospecific hydroxylation of the triterpene skeleton

We detected UDP-glucuronic acid:soyasapogenol glucuronosyltransferase (UGASGT) activity in the microsomal fraction from germinating soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) seed. A microsomal fraction was isolated from germinating soybean seed and treated with various detergents to solubilize the enzyme.

Lotus japonicus is an important model legume plant in several fields of research, such as secondary (specialized) metabolism and symbiotic nodulation. This plant accumulates triterpenoids; however, compared to Medicago truncatula and Glycine max, less information regarding its composition, content,
