Integration of deep transcriptome and proteome analyses reveals the components of alkaloid metabolism in opium poppy cell cultures
Abstract Background Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) is the source for several pharmaceutical benzylisoquinoline alkaloids including morphine, the codeine and sanguinarine.In response to treatment with a fungal elicitor, the biosynthesis and accumulation of sanguinarine is induced along with other plant defense responses in opium poppy cell culture
