Dynamics of withanolide biosynthesis in relation to temporal expression pattern of metabolic genes in Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal: a comparative study in two morpho-chemovariants.

Abstract excerpt

Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal synthesizes large array of pharmacologically active secondary metabolites known as withanolides. It has been extensively investigated in terms of chemistry and bioactivity profiling. However, there exists fragmentary information about the dynamics of withanolide biosynthesis at different phenophases in concert with the expression analysis of key pathway genes. In the present study,...
