Deletion and tandem duplications of biosynthetic genes drive the diversity of triterpenoids in Aralia elata
Araliaceae species produce various classes of triterpene and triterpenoid saponins, such as the oleanane-type triterpenoids in Aralia species and dammarane-type saponins in Panax, valued for their medicinal properties. The lack of genome sequences of Panax relatives has hindered mechanistic insight...
