Studying Morphine Biosynthesis Using Transgenic Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum L.)
Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) produces a large variety of isoquinoline alkaloids. The aim of this investigation is to understand the regulation of biosynthesis and the ecological function of the alkaloids in the plant. Agrobacterium-mediated transformations of opium poppy were used to introduce the berberine bridge enzyme cDNA bbe 1 in the antisense orientation into seedling explants. Aft...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum) Germplasm
Problem statement: The medicinal value of opium poppy (2n = 22, Papaver somniferum L.) is due to presence of more than two dozen alkaloids. The genetic origin and diversity of cultivars used in the breeding collection is not fully known. To evaluate the genetic diversity of the 24 germplasm currently cultivated in the state to provide genetic information about heterogeneity, using RAPD and ISSR...
متن کاملVariation in Oil, Protein Content and Fatty Acid Composition of Twelve Turkish Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) Lines
Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) has two major products: alkaloids in the capsules and the seeds. The seed contains oil, protein, carbohydrate, moisture and mineral matters. The seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and oleic acid. Remaining meals after oil extraction are the important source for animal diets. The United Nations recognize Turkey and India as tra...
متن کاملThe roles of latex and the vascular bundle in morphine biosynthesis in the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum.
The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, is one of mankind's oldest medicinal plants. Opium poppy today is the commercial source of the narcotic analgesics morphine and codeine. Along with these two morphinans, opium poppy produces approximately eighty alkaloids belonging to various tetrahydrobenzylisoquinoline-derived classes. It has been known for over a century that morphinan alkaloids accumulat...
متن کاملMolecular Genetic Analysis of an O-Methyltransferase of the Opium Poppy Papaver somniferum
Isoquinoline alkaloids are a large class of compounds derived from the amino acid L-tyrosine containing many physiologically active members. Among the isoquinoline alkaloids, morphine is one of the pharmaceutically important members that is still derived from the plant that produces it, the opium poppy Papaver somniferum. P. somniferum produces over 80 alkaloids derived from L-tyrosine. We have...
