General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction silencing of the gene encoding SalAT results in the accumulation of salutaridine, which is not the corresponding enzymatic substrate. Reduction of SalAt transcript and protein levels results in an increase in salutaridine, i.e. an approximately 20-fold increase compared with controls, and a concomitant decrease in thebaine levels. Codeine and morphine accumulation are also significantly reduced Papaver somniferum
metabolism SalAT is involved in the benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis in opium poppy from (R)-reticuline to morphine, pathway overview Papaver somniferum
