In a vegetation pot experiment we explored the effect of fertilizers with potassium (KCl; 0.9 g K2O/6 kg soil) and magnesium (ESTA Kieserite; 0.3 MgO/6 applied together or separately to poppy on soil good K Mg supply seed yield, oil content cadmium in seed. Seed yields increased significantly after application KCl ESTA Kieserite, respectively by 23.89% 21.68%, as compared unfertilized control. ...

As a secondary metabolite produced by opium poppy ( Papaver somniferum ), morphine is valuable subject for research and application purposes within the medical field. Thanks to conducted throughout past few decades, main pathway biosynthesis of has been thoroughly elucidated. In addition, whole genome sequencing evolutionary genomics have provided us with crucial information regarding specific ...

ABSTRACT Genome characterization of California poppy (Eschscholzia californica cv. “Hitoezaki”), which produces pharmaceutically important benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs), was carried out using the draft genome sequence. The numbers tRNA and rRNA genes were close to those other plant species tested, whereas frequency repetitive sequences distinct from species. Comparison predicted with Ambo...

Given the high importance of historical documental sources to better understand the dynamics of current pharmacopoeias, this work investigated the prescription book of the hospital of São Bento Monastery in Olinda (Northeastern Brazil) written by the physician Joaquim Jerônimo Serpa for the years of 1823 and 1824. The main aims of the work were to identify the medicinal plants used in formulati...

the diallel cross design is frequently utilized to obtain information on genetic effects, estimates of general and specific combining ability (gca and sca) and to identify promising heterotic combinations as well as heterotic patterns. in the present study, heterotic crosses were identified for specific alkaloids in opium poppy (papaver somniferum l.) following yan’s gge biplot model by use of ...

more than 12,000 alkaloids are known in plants, mostly used as medicine with a world market value of about 4 billion us$. opium poppy, papaver somniferum, is the most important economic source of morphinane alkaloids such as morphine, codeine, thebaine, narcotine and papaverine that are exploited by the pharmaceutical industry as analgesics, antitussives and anti-spasmodics. with regard to incr...
