Root-specific expression of Rhizobium rhizogenes rolB or rolC gene Unlocks Hyper-accumulation of tropane alkaloids in Atropa belladonna.

Plant physiology and biochemistry : PPB
Atropa belladonna is the primary commercial source of medicinal tropane alkaloids (mTAs), clinically vital anticholinergic agents. While rolB/rolC genes from Rhizobium rhizogenes activate plant secondary metabolism, their constitutive expression causes ...

A novel bHLH gene responsive to low nitrogen positively regulates the biosynthesis of medicinal tropane alkaloids in Atropa belladonna.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
Medicinal tropane alkaloids (TAs), including hyoscyamine, anisodamine and scopolamine, are essential anticholinergic drugs specifically produced in several solanaceous plants.

Functional divergence of two arginine decarboxylase genes in tropane alkaloid biosynthesis and root growth in Atropa belladonna.

Plant physiology and biochemistry : PPB
Putrescine, produced via the arginine decarboxylase (ADC)/ornithine decarboxylase (ODC)-mediated pathway, is an initial precursor for polyamines metabolism and the root-specific biosynthesis of medicinal tropane alkaloids (TAs).

Genetic Transformation of Atropa belladonna

1999
Leaves of Atropa belladonna L. (Solanaceae) are mainly used as a source for the tropane alkaloids, hyoscyamine and scopolamine, which are not easily produced by chemical synthesis. Thus because of its high morphogenetic potential, the in vitro culture of A.

Ornithine decarboxylase regulates putrescine-related metabolism and pollen development in Atropa belladonna.

Plant physiology and biochemistry : PPB, 2022
Polyamines, including putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, play critical roles in cell physiology by different forms. As a rate-limiting enzyme that converts ornithine to putrescine, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, EC 1.1.1.37) has been studied in detail ...

Effects of Heavy Water on Atropa Belladonna

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1965
The growth of belladonna is strongly inhibited by D 2 O concentrations greater than 50 per cent. The alkaloid content decreases progressively as the deuterium level in the plant increases. Germinative ability of seeds containing up to 40 per cent deuterium is unimpaired.
