Opium (powdered poppy Capsules) mixed with sugars and other plant products is a popular home made remedy for colic, cough and tonics for infants and children in Baluchistan. Over a period of 7 years (1977.1983) 28 children between the ages of I month to 5 years were admitted in Civil Hospital Quetta due to opium poisoning accounting for 0.16% of all paediatric admissions during the same period....

Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) has two major products: alkaloids in the capsules and the seeds. It is known that opium poppy today contains alkaloid in great quantities. Opiate alkaloids and their synthetic derivatives are widely used in medicines which are produced in hundreds of tons for the medicine industry. The study aimed to screen the capsules of six Turkish opium poppy lines to eva...

In this research there were studied the effects of NaCl-induced salinity and environment temperatures on germination seedlings growth domestic poppy. The study was conducted in controlled conditions plant chamber. There applied different concentrations NaCl (0 mM (control), 50 mM, 100 150 mM) (10°C, 15°C 20°C). seeds poppy cultivar (Detkovac) sown 4 replicates filter paper. energy determined 5t...

Papaver species are known to produce a large variety of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, with each species exhibiting a specific alkaloid profile, but only a few genes involved in the biosynthesis or regulation of these complex pathways are known so far. Here we used a genomic approach to discover genes responsible for the determination of a specific alkaloid profile. A stem expressed sequence tag...
