Nicotiana glauca: In Vitro Production of Pyridine Alkaloids and Other Secondary Metabolites

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 33))

Abstract

Nicotiana glauca (family Solanaceae) is one of 21 species of Nicotiana, of which N. rustica and N. tabacum are the best known as sources of tobacco. N. glauca attains the greatest concentration and diversity in central Argentina where it is considered native. It is found less frequently in Bolivia where it also may be native. Indeed, N. glauca is represented to a greater or lesser degree in many warm temperate climates (Goodspeed 1954).
