Plant material enriched in secondary metabolites is produced in tissue culture under conditions that organogenically produce a proliferation of shoots and leafy material, and harvesting the leafy material and shoots while in a green, actively-growing, non-senescent stage. Of particular interest is plant material that produces alkaloids, especially material from poppy (
Papaver
sp.) that will yield economically attractive levels of morphinane alkaloids, particularly thebaine.
富含次生代谢物的植物材料是在组织培养条件下生产的,这种条件能有机地产生大量的嫩枝和叶片材料,并在叶片材料和嫩枝处于绿色、旺盛生长和非衰老阶段时采收。特别令人感兴趣的是能产生
生物碱的植物材料,尤其是来自罂粟(Papaver)的材料。
罂粟
sp.)的材料,其
吗啡烷
生物碱(尤其是
蒂巴因)的产量在经济上具有吸引力。
