Compromised Disease Resistance in Saponin Defficient Plants
Saponins are glycosylated plant secondary metabolites found in many major food crops [Price, K Ft., Johnson, 1. T. 8 Fentick, G. Ft.(1987) CRC crit Rev. Food s.5. Nuw. 26. 27-1331. Because many saponins have potent antifungal properties and are present in healthy plants in high concentrations. These molecules may act as preformed chemical barriers to fungal attack.
