Characterisation of Two Oxidosqualene Cyclases Responsible for Triterpenoid Biosynthesis in Ilex asprella

Ilex asprella, a plant widely used as a folk herbal drug in southern China, produces and stores a large amount of triterpenoid saponins, most of which are of the α-amyrin type. In this study, two oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) cDNAs, IaAS1 and IaAS2, were cloned from the I. asprella root. Functional ch...
