4.2.1.125	physiological function	Centella asiatica hairy roots overexpressing ginseng farnesyl diphosphate synthase show higher levels of dammarenediol synthase and cycloartenol synthase mRNA when compared with the controls. No differences are detected in expression of the squalene synthase gene. The upregulation of dammarenediol synthase transcripts suggests that FPS may result in alterations in triterpene biosynthesis capacity. Squalene contents in the T17, T24, and T27 lines increase to 1.1-, 1.3- and 1.5fold those in the controls, respectively. The total sterol contents in the T24 line are approximately three times higher than those of the controls	Centella asiatica
