Cloned (Comment) Organism
T1 progeny of transgenic Atropa belladonna, in which putrescine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.53) from Nicotiana tabacum (NtPMT) and hyoscyamine 6beta-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.14) from Hyoscyamus niger (HnH6H) are overexpressed, are established to investigate tropane alkaloids biosynthesis and distribution in ripe fruits, leaves, stems, primary roots and secondary roots under field conditions. Both NtPMT and HnH6H are detected at the transcriptional level in transgenic plants, whereas they are not detected in wild-type plants. Metabolically engineering Atropa belladonna based on overexpressing NtPMT and HnH6H shows a chemotype of rich scopolamine that greatly improves the commercial and pharmaceutical properties of Atropa belladonna Nicotiana tabacum
