Potato Steroidal Glycoalkaloids: Biosynthesis and Genetic Manipulation

2009-02-01

Abstract excerpt

The potato steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are important components of plant resistance against pests and pathogens but can be toxic to humans at high levels. SGAs derive their toxicity from anticholinesterase activity affecting the central nervous system and the disruptive effects on cell membrane integrity affecting the digestive system and other organs. Accordingly, current safety regulations limit their conten...
