Characterization of cDNA for PMT: a Partial Nicotine Biosynthesis-Related Gene Isolated from Indonesian Local Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Sindoro1)
Nicotine is the major alkaloid compound in cultivated tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) that could potentially be converted into carcinogenic compound (nor-nicotine). The PMT gene encoding putrescine N-methyltransferase (PMT) is one of the two key genes that play a prominent role in nicotine biosynthesis....
