thebaine/papaver pseudo-orientale

Dry latex of Paaver orientale was shown to contain 20% oripavine and 9% thebaine. Dry latex of Papaver pseudo-orientale contained two major alkaloids, isothebaine (11.7%) and orientalidine (0.5%), and the minor alkaloids bracteolin, salutaridine, Or1, Or2, PO-4, alborine (PO-5), and a novel alkaloid

The alkaloid profiles and morphological traits of the capsules of Papaver bracteatum, P. pseudo-orientale, and their hybrids were studied. Dominance of the hexaploid parent P. pseudo-orientale was observed for various characters. A genetic model assuming allelic additive effects and polysomic

Viable hybrids were artificially produced between PAPAVER BRACTEATUM rich in thebaine on the one side and PAPAVER SOMNIFERUM, PAPAVER ORIENTALE and PAPAVER PSEUDO-ORIENTALE on the other side. Each of them is characterized by morphological and some physiological features as well as by its chromosome
