Genetic Aspects of the Relationship between Isoquinoline Alkaloids and Mineral Elements in Greater Celandine (Chelidonium majus L.)

摘要

Interrelations between the total content of isoquinoline alkaloids, the concentrations of quaternary protoberberines and benzophenanthridines, and the amount of K, Cu, Co, Al, Ba, and Zn in aerial parts of individual celandine plants were revealed, within a single cenopopulation, using correlation analysis and regression analysis. Mathematical models describing the regulation of isoquinoline metabolism by some of the mineral elements were obtained in analytical form. The results suggest that this process is genetically determined.
