Summary: This study compared the impact of different seasons on various opium poppy genotypes in Turkey, finding higher alkaloid and oil contents in spring sowings but higher yield in autumn sowings. Specific genotypes performed better in different sowing seasons, suggesting selecting appropriate genotypes for cultivation based on research results.

Summary: The study found that gene interactions play a significant role in the inheritance of yield and allied traits in opium poppy, with additive gene action being the main driver. Selection based on studied traits can effectively enhance yield potential in opium poppy, while delayed selection for traits governed by epistasis may also yield promising results.

Summary: The present study aimed to characterize and assess the genetic variability of forty genotypes of Papaver somniferum L. through morphological and biochemical analysis. Significant positive correlation was found among various morphological and biochemical characters. Cluster analysis revealed the presence of eight and nine main clusters based on morphological and biochemical analysis, respectively. The findings from this study are crucial for the development of superior lines of opium poppy.

Summary: By applying IsoSeq on opium poppy, we enhanced gene annotation and identified tissue and development-specific alternative splicing modes using a custom-made correction tool. Through the newly discovered transcribed loci, we uncovered distinct characteristics of splicing sites between young and old genes.

Summary: Poppy seed production is vulnerable to stress and weed infestation, and intercropping with white clover and spring barley can help minimize the risk. Early seeding of poppy can limit competition when intercropped with barley, resulting in higher yields.

Summary: Poppy is a significant pharmaceutical crop, but its seeds and cold-pressed oil have great potential as healthy foods. This study compared the sensory values, fatty acid composition, and headspace volatile composition of poppy oils and flours from different varieties. The results showed that sensory characteristics, such as odor and flavor, differed among varieties, with blue-seed varieties having a stronger typical poppy odor and flavor compared to white-seed ones. The fatty acid composition and volatile compounds also varied depending on genotype and year. The oil content of poppy flour positively influenced its color, appearance, tactility, and poppy flavor.

Summary: This paper investigates the morphology, taxonomy, anatomy, and palynology of Papaver somniferum. It provides a detailed description and illustrations of the species, as well as information about identification, distribution, cultivation, habitats, pollinators, specimens, growing periods, phenology, etymology, vernacular name, and uses. The species is characterized by glabrous and glaucous herb with unlobed or pinnately lobed leaves, variations in petal color and morphology, and white filaments occasionally with purple and broadened apical part. The stem's transverse section shows two rings of discontinuous and widely spaced vascular bundles. The epidermal cells have polygonal shape on the adaxial surface and polygonal or irregular shape on the abaxial surface. The stomata are anomocytic and located on the lower epidermis. The pollen grains are spheroidal or prolate spheroidal, sometimes oblate spheroidal, with a tricolpate aperture and microechinate sculpturing.

Summary: This research compared the yield and quality performance of planting poppy seedlings and direct seed sowing in Turkey. The planting seedling method was found to be approximately one week faster than the sowing method, with the highest capsule and seed yields obtained from planting seedlings on October fifteenth. The study suggests that seedling planting can be an effective alternative for achieving high capsule and seed yields in poppy production.

Summary: The study investigated the chemical composition and sensory properties of low morphine yielding winter and summer poppy varieties, analyzing their fatty acids, tocopherols, volatile compounds, and sensory profiles. The oils in the seeds were found to contain high amounts of gamma-tocopherol and specific volatile compounds. The sensory panel was able to distinguish between samples based on fatty/oily, rancid, sweet, and green attributes, with the presence of certain methoxypyrazines in summer poppies contributing to a distinct green aroma.

Summary: The opium poppy and other related species are important in forensic science, but current identification methods have limitations. This study used chloroplast DNA barcoding markers to analyze the genetic variation of opium poppy. The trnH-psbA and petA-psbJ regions showed promise for individual identification of opium poppy.

Summary: Opium poppy is an ancient medicinal plant with limited knowledge of its genetic diversity. This study used genotyping-by-sequencing to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of a collection of poppy germplasm. The study identified five distinct subpopulations and found that accessions from the same country were grouped together within subpopulations. The study also identified diverse alkaloid profiles among the accessions. These results provide valuable resources for further genetic diversity analysis and genetic improvement of this important crop.

Summary: The oil content and fatty acid composition of 19 poppy genotypes were studied, showing that the white-seeded genotypes had higher oil content and the main fatty acids were linoleic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid. The fatty acid composition of the seeds was mainly influenced by the crop year, with significant effects of genotype and genotype-year interaction.

Summary: The first autosomal sequence-based allele frequency database for forensic massively parallel sequencing has been published, eliminating one of the barriers to implementing MPS in casework. A procedure has been described to address match probabilities when casework samples are generated using an MPS kit with different trim sites, providing a framework for comparison of different kits or databases and accommodating comparison of MPS and CE profiles.

Summary: Forensic DNA analysis is a well-developed field that uses short tandem repeats (STRs) to discriminate individuals, but the challenge of stutter artifacts during analysis needs to be better understood. Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) data can accurately detect and characterize stutter, including non-longest uninterrupted stretch (non-LUS) stutter. This study highlights the importance of characterizing motif-and allele-specific stutter, especially for analyzing DNA profiles with low-level contributors.
