Phytochemistry Studies

A chromosome-level genome assembly of anesthetic drug-producing Anisodus acutangulus provides insights into its evolution and the biosynthesis of tropane alkaloids.

Researchers studied Tropane alkaloids in Anisodus acutangulus to understand its genome and biosynthesis pathways. This can lead to better manipulation of plants for anesthetic, analgesic, and spasmolytic effects.
