Somatic Hybridization in Hyoscyamus x Nicotiana

  • Chapter
Plant Protoplasts and Genetic Engineering I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 8))

Abstract

The majority of the approximately 1500 species of the Solanaceae family comprise herbaceous or woody plants and they are distributed mostly in tropical or temperate regions of the Americas. There are a number of useful genera in this family, such as: Solarium, Lycopersicum, Nicotiana, and the important drug plants of Hyoscyamus, Atropa and Datura. The 76 species of the genus Nicotiana are distributed as follows: North America (12), Central America (14), South America (43) and Australia (14). Thus the centre of the area of this genus must be regarded as South America (Wulff 1943). Nicotiana tabacum is economically the most important species of the genus and the most widely grown commercial non-food plant in the world. It was introduced into Europe in 1560. The herbaceous Hyoscyamus species have their origin in Africa and southwest Asia. The best known is the poisonous weed henbane, Hyoscyamus niger, a, natural source of hyoscyamine, hyoscine and atropine.
