Dammarane is a tetracyclic triterpene found in sapogenins (forming triterpenoid saponins) like those of ginseng (ginsenosides: panaxatriol and protopanaxadiol). Compounds of the series were first isolated from and named after dammar resin, a natural resin from tropical trees of the Dipterocarp family.
The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a method for heterologous synthesis of dammarane-type ginsenosides in the endosperm of crop seeds, a vector, a plant and application. Through modular design, a core gene module driven by an endosperm-specific promoter is assembled in the T-DNA region of the vector, and a downstream glycosylation or hydroxylation-glycosylation modification module is configured to realize the directional synthesis of PPD-type and PPT-type ginsenosides, respectively. The transgenic crops obtained by using the vector can specifically accumulate target ginsenosides in the endosperm. The obtained ginseng rice shows clear anti-tumor activity in in vitro tumor cell experiments and tumor-bearing mouse models. The present application provides a new strategy for low-cost production of high-value natural products, and opens up a new direction for the application of functional crops in the field of medicine.
