Course Goal

To explain genetic control of alkaloid production and environmental influences on alkaloid production in medicinal plants, the role of alkaloids in plants, metabolic modifications of alkaloids by plants and relationships between N-metabolism and alkaloids formation

Course Content

Alkaloids generally referred as secondary metabolites in plants, occurs in 20 of known species. Genetic control of alkaloid production of medicinal plants, environmental effects on the production of alkaloids, alkaloids role, plant alkaloids metabolic changes and N-will be described in relation to the metabolism of the formation of the alkaloid
