Planteome: Term Details for "saponin biosynthetic process" (GO:0016135)

Accession: GO:0016135
Name: saponin biosynthetic process
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: saponin anabolism, saponin biosynthesis, saponin formation, saponin synthesis
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of saponins, glycosides of plants in which the aglycan (sapogenin) group is a terpene or steroid and the sugar group is a glucose, a galactose, a pentose, a methylpentose or an oligosaccharide. Saponins are powerful surfactant agents and membrane active; they are, hence, toxic to animals on injection. Source: GOC:go_curators
