However, increasing market demand, combined with the species slow growth cycle, has led to severe depletion of wild resources, while the natural abundance of key pharmacologically active compounds remains relatively low. Recent advances in multiomics technologies and synthetic biology have progressively clarified the biosynthetic pathways of steroidal saponins in\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>polyphylla<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Consequently, improving the production of these valuable metabolites through efficient heterologous biosynthesis has become an important strategy for their sustainable utilization. In this review, we systematically summarize the steroidal saponins identified in\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>polyphylla<\/jats:italic>\n                    , with particular emphasis on their glycosylation patterns, and comprehensively discuss recent progress in elucidating their biosynthetic pathways.
