Abstract

Papaver somniferum is a medicinal plant of the Papaveraceae family that has traditionally been used for diet or its therapeutic value for thousands of years. Mainly, morphine and noscapine alkaloids exhibit anti-analgesic and anti-cancer effects. However, gene expression patterns and regulatory elements, such as transcription factors between different tissues, still need to be detected. In this study, comparative in silico transcriptome analyses were conducted to examine the tissue-specificity of the benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) biosynthetic genes and transcription factors (TFs) between morphine and noscapine cultivars. Analysis showed that BIA biosynthetic genes are expressed in a different pattern between two varieties. Results showed that some members of plant-specific secondary metabolites related to TF families, such as MYB, MADS-box, bHLH, NAC, and WRKY, are differentially expressed between tissues and varieties.
