Abstract

Many species of Papaver exist as chemical races and, in order to illustrate this fact, examples have been chosen from the sections Miltantha and Oxytona. Future work on the alkaloids of Papaver species, including the possibility of novel compounds, aspects of biosynthesis and plant cell culture, are briefly discussed.
