The CroSap project investigates the biosynthesis of novel compounds called azafrines in Crocus sativus, a plant known for its valuable stigmas. By identifying and characterizing the genes involved in this process, the project aims to enhance our understanding of plant biochemistry and potential applications in pharmaco…
Crocus sativus L. is an autumn-flowering perennial geophyte (a monocot belonging to the Iridaceae family) that forms underground corms and is rich in apocarotenoids.
The key apocarotenoids including crocin, picrocrocin, and safranal present only in the stigmas, define its unique characteristics.
It has recently become apparent that crocus corms are also a source of novel oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins (azafrines).
However the biosynthetic route to azafrines in crocus is unknown.
