Normal root of Hyoscyumus niger was cultivated in various nutrient conditions to optimize root growth and scopolamine production. Nitrate or phosphate concentration had little effect on root growth, while the low levels of nitrate or phosphate enhanced specific scopolamine content by 44% and 39%, re
The activity of arginine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.19) in cultured roots of Hyoscyamus albus L., which produce considerable amounts of tropane alkaloids, was twice that of ornithine decarboxylase (EC4.1.1.17), both activities being highest during active root growth, whereas arginase (EC 3.5.3.1) activ
[1,4-(14)C]Putrescine, administered to cultured roots of Hyoscyamus albus L., was converted to spermidine and spermine as well as to conjugated forms. A substantial fraction of its radioactivity (approx. 6%) was, however, incorporated into N-methylputrescine within 4 h, followed by an increase in ra
