Panax japonicus C. A. Myer LC-MSMS

Ginsenosides are a class of natural product triterpene saponins and almost exclusively in the plant genus Panax which has a long history of use as dietary supplements. Pharmacological research demonstrated that ginsenosides have multiple bioactivities. Ginsenoside is produced at high levels within Panax japonicus, and we have performed Lable-free quantitaion analysis of multiple tissues from this species in order to investigate the biosynthetic genes required for producing ginsenoside.
