“…Glycosylation occurs readily in plant cells, i.e., many kinds of secondary metabolites such as saponins and anthocyanins are produced in the form of glycosides in higher plants and most of them are accumulated in the vacuole of plant cells . Because one-step enzymatic glycosylation by cultured plant cells is useful for preparation of glycosides rather than chemical glycosylation which requires tedious steps (Mastelic et al, 2004;Namme et al, 2005), it has been the subject of increasing attention and has been carried out for many exogenous compounds, i.e., digitoxigenin, terpenoids, cineole, steviol, and tropic acid (Furuya et al, 1987b;Moyer and Gustine, 1987;Furuya et al, 1988;Tabata et al, 1988;Upmeier et al, 1988;Furuya et al, 1989;Ushiyama et al, 1989;Lewinson et al, 1996).…”
