Cell suspension of Hyoscyamus a/bus L. were investigated for growth and production of tropane alkaloids in three different media. The effects of sucrose concentration and initial pH were also studied. 2,4Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 1% sucrose enhanced the production of tropane alkaloids. The percent of alkaloids (0.75%) was higher than in the cultivated plant (0.352 %).

Within the family Solanaceae, tribe Hyoscyameae comprises eight genera distributed across Eurasia. Despite a few attempts to understand relationships within this tribe, affiliations among most remain unresolved. Recently, complete chloroplast genomes from several species of were published, enabling phylogenomic inferences. We sequenced plastome Scopolia carniolica, second genus be reported. Gen...
