Abstract The main active components of ginseng are ginsenosides, which play significant roles in treating cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and providing antioxidant effects. Ginsenosides are primarily synthesized through the mevalonate pathway and the methylerythritol phosphate pathway. Many key enzyme genes involved in this biosynthetic process have been cloned and validated, yet the regulatory functions of transcription factors remain unclear. The C2H2-type zinc finger protein family, one of the largest families of transcription factors, is crucial in plant growth and development, response to biotic and abiotic stresses, and regulation of secondary metabolism. This study, based on the ginseng transcriptome More >
