“…The spatial and temporal regulation of enzymes during development and in response to biotic and abiotic factors contribute to the time-variable formation of a diverse group of terpene metabolites ( Tholl, 2006 ). Triterpenoid saponins have been shown to exhibit various medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory ( Yang et al, 2021 ), anti-bacterial ( Yu et al, 2019 ), anti-allergic ( Han and Kim, 2020 ), anti-tumor ( Han et al, 2019 ), immunomodulatory ( Sarikahya et al, 2018 ), anti-carcinogenic ( Li et al, 2021 ; Zhou et al, 2021 ), and hepatoprotective effects ( Shao et al, 2021 ). In our study, BcR has more triterpenoid saponins as the main bioactive component than BsR.…”
