 CHEMOTAXONOMY OF THE GENUS PAPAVER
Thus the genus Papaver is characterized by the overall presence of meconic acid in the latex and of rhoeadanes, as well as - restricted to some sections - of pigments, alkaloids etc. This chemotaxonomic basis emphasized many relationships in the tribe Papavereae.
The inherence of biochemical similarities and differences of Papaver sections are stressed one after the other: starting with Meconella, pointing out a cline type alkaloid variation in Meconidium, and after dealing with some other sections finishing by the most developed Papaver.
Based on all of these data-relations, analogous changes of pigmentation and development of alkaloid biosyntheses at the sections it is suggested a chemotaxonomically plausible, classification of the genus Papaver.
