Key Findings
- Researchers in Beijing found that key saponins in P. notoginseng mainly accumulate in underground tissues like roots and rhizomes
- The distribution of these saponins matches the expression of genes involved in jasmonic acid pathways
- Understanding these mechanisms can help improve planting techniques and develop high-quality P. notoginseng varieties
