The compounds found in plants are of many kinds, but most can be grouped into four major biosynthetic classes: alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, polyketides, and terpenoids. (wikipedia.org)
Furthermore, we identify seven Aesculus-originated coumarin glycoside biosynthetic genes and achieve the de novo synthesis of aesculin in E. coli. (bvsalud.org)
Metabolites2
Phytochemists strive to describe the structures of the large number of secondary metabolites found in plants, the functions of these compounds in human and plant biology, and the biosynthesis of these compounds. (wikipedia.org)
Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by almost every part of plants, including fruits, flowers, leaves and bark. (wikipedia.org)
Roots1
We propose that ERF1A, CYP90G1-1 and CYP76AH1 are specifically involved in the key steps of steroidal alkaloid biosynthesis in V. maackii roots. (bvsalud.org)
Plant1
The plant was used to treat heart conditions long before the glycoside was identified. (wikipedia.org)
