Glycosylation-dependent Turnover of Triterpenoid Saponins Controls Insect Deterrence

Jincheng Shen, Pablo D. Cárdenas, Søren Bak

The paper shows that insect herbivores modify saponin structures through deglycosylation, altering their defensive properties and demonstrating that glycosylation patterns directly determine saponin activity.
