| Abstract: | The alkaloid content (nicotine, nornicotine, anabasine, and anatabine) in leaves and roots of 60 Nicotiana species were analyzed by GC. All species contained alkaloids, the amounts varying with the species. There was no clearcut correlation between alkaloid amounts and subgeneric or sectional classification. The alkaloid content in the floral parts and immature and mature fruits of Nicotiana tabacum were also analyzed. |
