Profiling phytochemical and nutritional components of potato
… phenolics, flavonoids, antioxidant activity and glycoalkaloids were determined, using spectroscopy and chromatography, in the skin and flesh of tubers grown in field trials. Transcript levels of key synthetic enzymes were assessed by qPCR. Accumulation of selected metabolites was higher in the …

Metabolic Profiling of Genetically Modified Potato Periderm Tissues
… in the non-polar extracts. Phenolic acids, glycoalkaloids, alkanes (C21, C23, C25, C27, C29) and fatty acids (C16:0, C18:0, C18:2) were down-regulated in FHT-RNAi native periderms. For the solid interfacial residue, the FHT-RNAi variety displayed higher arene-to-(CH2)n and oxygenated …

Three genes from Solanum chacoense coding for squalene synthase
… cholesterol, and in potato plants, steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs). These compounds have diverse functions in the plant. SGAs are defense compounds that deter feeding by potato pests. The wild potato Solanum chacoense accumulates higher amounts of SGAs than cultivated potato and some of its …

Biosynthesis of Steroidal Glycoakaloids in Solanum chacoense Bitter
Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are secondary metabolites produced by approximately 350 species in the Solanaceae family. SGAs are reported to be important for pest resistance and flavor enhancement at low concentrations but are toxic to humans and other mammals at high concentrations. Studies on …

Genetic studies of candidate genes in the glycoalkaloid biosynthetic pathway of potato
… with biosynthesis and accumulation of steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs). SGAs are secondary metabolites produced in Solanum species as defense against insects and pathogens. Fragments of genomic DNA coding for regions of five SGA biosynthetic candidate genes were amplified, cloned and sequenced …

Defining the role of cellulose synthase-like M genes in the plant cell wall
… lycopersicum) saponins, which are steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGA). The work in this thesis has delved more into the role of tomato CslM genes in cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis and saponin glycosylation. Transcript analysis showed that both CslM1 and CslM2a have different patterns of …
