The Solanaceae plants produce a variety of interesting biologically active products including the steroid alkaloids solanidine, nicotine and tropane alkaloids. Putrescine N-methyltransferase (PMT) is an enzyme that catalyses s-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation of putrescine in one of the primary steps of nicotine and tropane alkaloids biosynthesis pathway. Two tobacco members of the AP2/...

background & aim: a. belladonna (family: solanaceae) is one of important pharmaceutical plants which contain tropane ‎alkaloids. tropane alkaloids are distinct group of secondary metabolites of the ‎solanaceae family.  the most important alkaloids of a. belladonna are atropine and hyoscine that are used extensively because of their medicinal properties. therefore identification and ‎determi...
