Investigation of Protein-Protein Interactions among Nicotine Biosynthetic Enzymes and Characterization of a Nicotine Transporter

Alkaloids are a class of plant secondary metabolites produced in about 20% of plant families. Domesticated tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum produces nicotine as the predominant alkaloid. The biosynthesis of nicotine occurs exclusively in the roots of tobacco, yet accumulates in the leaves of tobacco where...
