Polyploidy is a prominent process in plant evolution and adaptation, but molecular phylogenetic studies of polyploids based on DNA sequences have often been confounded by their complex gene and genome histories. We report here a retroposon insertion in the nuclear gene granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI or "waxy") that clearly reveals the ancient hybrid history of the medically important po...

plants are the important sources of drugs. secondary metabolites are responsible for therapeutic propertiesin plants. three compounds including (-)-hyoscyamine, its racemate atropine, and scopolamine (hyoscine) are the most famous tropane alkaloids in the solanaceae familly. nowadays, attempts to developthese alkaloids in biotechnological procedures which are principally based on the hairy root...

Introduction: Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade) is a poisonous herb that can be especially seen in Northern regions of our country and cause anticholinergic toxic syndrome (ATS) when consumed. ATS consuming the plant which contains atropine or overdose psychoactive drugs containing (such as antipsychotics, tricyclic antidepressants).
