Method for producing tropane alkaloids

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To improve the productivity of a tropane-type alkaloid by introducing a specific Ri plasmid into a haploid tissue of a plant of family Solanaceae, selecting a strain from hair root originated from induced haploid and culturing the hair root of the selected strain. CONSTITUTION:A tropane-type alkaloid is produced by culturing the hair root of a plant of family Solanaceae. The hair root used in the above process is that of a selected strain produced by introducing Ri plasmid of Agrobacterium zoligenes into a haploid tissue of a plant of family Solanaceae and selecting a strain having high productivity of the tropane-type alkaloid from the hair roots originated from the induced haploid. The hair root originated from the induced haploid is preferably subjected to polyploidization treatment.
