Fig. S2
Figure S2. B. vulgaris QTL map showing 17 linkage groups by vertical bars, aligned to the five A. thaliana chromosomes. QTLs for flea beetle resistance, saponins of the G- and P-type, and glucosinolates are indicated by vertical colored bars, and positions of the six mapped genes for saponin biosynthesis by circles. Genetic distances (cM) are listed at the left of each linkage group and genetic markers (AFLP, SSR) at the right; corresponding marker positions on the A. thaliana chromosomes are indicated in millions of base pairs (Mb). QTLs for the four unknown saponins from the P-type are marked 1 to 4; see Kuzina et al. (2011) for more details; two of these were dominant, as were two QTLs for glucosinolates. Confidence intervals, explained variation and position of the maximal LOD score are in Table S2. AFLP markers are designated with the MseI (m) and PstI (p) primer combinations followed by molecular weight (bp).

Fig. S3
Figure S3. EI-MS fragmentation patterns and retention times (RT) of trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives of 13 authentic triterpene standards and five tentatively identified triterpenoids (unknowns 1-5). Tentatively identified triterpenoids correspond to peak numbers as illustrated in Fig. 3. EI-MS patterns, RT and structures of (a) β-amyrin, (b) α-amyrin, (c) lupeol, (d) erithrodiol, (e) uvaol, (f) betulin, (g) oleanolic acid, (h) oleanolic aldehyde, (i) betulinic acid, (j) betulinic aldehyde, (k) ursolic acid, (l) ursolic aldehyde, (m) hederagenin were compared against authentic standards. Tentative identification of triterpenoids (unknowns 1-5 (n-u)) were based on common EI-MS fragmentation patterns observed for most trimethylsilylated triterpenes and mass spectral comparison with authentic standards. Characteristic fragmentation patterns represented by loss of methyl (-15 m/z), followed by loos of dimethylsilyl oxonium (-75 m/z) and loss of the second methyl (-15 m/z) group from the final trimethylsilylated products (v) and allowed estimation of molecular masses of unknowns 1-5 (Table S8).

Figure S5. Saponins produced by expression of different combinations of B. vulgaris genes coding for OSCs, P450s and UGTs in N. benthamiana plant leaves. Panels (a-c) show LC-MS profiles for (1) (a) LUP2G, (b) and (c) LUP2P; (2) LUPs in combination with (a) CYP716A80, (b) CYP716A81, and (c) BvCYP716A80; (3) LUPs and CYPs in combination with (a) UGT73C11, (b) UGT73C13, and (c) UGT73C11. (2A) – (3D) EICs of (2) representing saponins with (2A) five sugar moieties (m/z 1266-1268, 1308-1310, 1380-1382, 1418-1420); (2B) four moieties (m/z 1088-1091, 1105-1110, 1145-1147, 1190-1192) (2C) two moieties (m/z 829-831, 901-903, 1564-1566) and (2D) one moiety (m/z 617-619, 666-668, 1236-1238, 1413-1415, 1408-1411). The y axis (ion count) of each chromatogram is scaled to the highest peak. Peaks highlighted with asterisk (*) correspond to saponins that significantly decreased or disappeared after sodium hydroxide-based saponification, indicating presence of sugar moieties at the C28 position of the triterpene aglycones. See Tables S5-S7 for more detailed information on detected saponins from these enzyme combinations.
