Abstract:
Tanshinones and phenolic acids are two major classes of effective compounds in S.miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma.Accumulative levels of these compounds directly determined its quality and efficacy.Presently,for the purpose of understanding the underlying the mechanism behind the biosynthesis and regulation of effective compounds in S.miltiorrhiza,a series of progresses have been pressed ahead.Benefiting from the boost and convenience of high-throughput genomic,transcriptomic,and metabolic analysis methods,remarkable achievements have been accessed in this field.In this paper,a summary for the recent progress have been made with the provision of a reference for better understanding over the quality of S.miltiorrhiza.
