Produktbeschreibung
"Gene Prospecting in Papaver somniferum" by Mridula Singh is a compelling book that explores the fascinating world of opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. The book focuses on the genetic diversity of this important medicinal plant and its potential for producing valuable bioactive compounds. Singh's research is particularly interested in using "contrasting genotypes" of the opium poppy to identify genes responsible for producing the plant's alkaloids, including morphine, codeine, and thebaine. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the experimental techniques and methods used in gene prospecting in Papaver somniferum, including molecular markers, genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics. Singh's work sheds light on the complex genetic pathways involved in the biosynthesis of opium alkaloids and the factors that influence their production. The book also presents the latest research findings on the regulation of opium alkaloid biosynthesis and the potential applications of this research in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Singh's writing style is clear and accessible, making this book an ideal resource for researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and plant biotechnology. Overall, "Gene Prospecting in Papaver somniferum" is an essential read for anyone interested in the genetic diversity of medicinal plants and the potential for unlocking their therapeutic potential.
