Metabolic engineering of the diosgenin biosynthesis pathway in Trigonella foenum-graceum hairy root cultures

Diosgenin as a triterpene with numbers of pharmaceutical applications has been identified in Trigonella foenum-graceum. In this survey, in order to scale up the amount of diosgenin in Fenugreek as a promising alternative of yam, ∆24-reductase as a rate limiting enzyme in diosgenin biosynthesis pathw...
