Is bitter actually better? Targeting a soyasaponin acetyltransferase affects soybean seed germination.

This Highlight features a recent study showing that the soybean BAHD-type soyasaponin acetyltransferase GmSSAcT1 is responsible for three or four sequential acetylation steps in type-A soyasaponin biosynthesis and that loss of GmSSAcT1 function strongly inhibits soybean seed germination. © 2023 Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
