| Research Abstract |
Glycyrrhizae Radix, the underground material derived from Glycyrrhiza uralensis is extensively used as an herbal medicine in worldwide. Biological activities of licorice have been attributed to glycyrrhizin (a triterpenoid compound). It is important to up-regulate the production of glycyrrhizin in G. uralensis. In this study, we clarified the gene regulation of glycyrrhizin biosynthesis, and develop a basic technique for the producing glycyrrhizin in the cultured cells.
