CODEINE PRODUCTION FROM PLANT CELL CULTURE

摘要

The production of codeine has been achieved from modified cell cultures derived from the plants Papaver somniferum L. or Papaver setigerum DC. The cell cultures have been constrained to produce cytodifferentiated polyploid cells which are considerably larger than the normal non-differentiated cells. In the presence of these polyploid cells the production of codeine is realized.
