Abstract

Opium poppy is one of the most important medicinal plants, because of its secondary metabolites (alkaloids). Opium as such is an important product, which has many uses and abuses. Its alkaloids are widely used in modern pharmacopeia. Agrobacterium rhizogenes (hairy roots), mediated hairy root culture, is also used for secondary metabolite production under in vitro conditions. Hairy roots are able to grow fast without phytohormones and to produce the metabolites of the mother plant. India is the only country where UN has given license to produce opium from latex. The application of opiate alkaloids, mainly in hydrochloride, sulfate, and phosphate forms, is restricted in some well-defined therapeutic fields. A major component among alkaloids is morphine, having analgesic in nature and used mainly to control severe pain and sedative effects. Poppy seeds have been described as tonic and aphrodisiac, promote luster of the body, enhance capacity to muscular work, and allay nervous excitement. Plant of such economic importance is affected by various biotic and abiotic factors leading to yield loss. Biotic factors include fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and birds too. This important plant has huge prospects in pharma industry, and on other hand, it is facing lots of challenges in the form of illicit trade, drug abuse, and biotic and abiotic stresses.
