Many medic inal plants contain oleanane saponins in roots, however, only scarce data on their biosynthesis in this organ are available so far, including our previous results concerning Calendula officinalis plant. Thus, the purpose of the present work was to confirm the presumable biosynthetic pathway of oleanolic acid glycosides in roots of young C. officinalis plants. First of all, the effective method of isolation of protoplasts from C. officinalis roots was established. Then, isolated root protoplasts were supplied with radioactive precursors, [2-¹⁴C] mevalonate (MV A) and [3-³H] oleanolic acid (OL) and their transformations were studied with comparison to results obtained with excised roots. The penetration of both precursors into protoplasts was more rapid and effective than in the case of excised roots. The labeling of sterols and OL during the incubation with MVA showed that the isoprenoid pathway leading to triterpenoids was operative in excised roots as well as isolated root protoplasts. Moreover, the transformations of OL into two seties of its glycosides, i.e. glucosides and glucuronides were investigated. It has been shown that both series of OL glycosides are synthesized in isolated root protoplasts in the same way as in excised roots of young marigold plants.
