Breeding of new varieties with varying alkaloid content is therefore an important task. In this paper, the breeding technology of new low morphine poppy genotypes, based on a combination of a TILLING approach and single-molecule real-time NGS sequencing, is presented. Verification of the mutants in the TILLING population was obtained using RT-PCR and HPLC methods. Only three of the single-copy genes of the morphine pathway among the eleven genes were used for the identification of mutant genotypes. Point mutations were obtained only in one gene (CNMT) while an insertion was obtained in the other (SalAT). Only a few expected transition SNPs from G:C to A:T were obtained. In the low morphine mutant genotype, the production of morphine was decreased to 0.1% from 1.4% in the original variety. A comprehensive description of the breeding process, a basic characterization of the main alkaloid content, and a gene expression profile for the main alkaloid-producing genes is provided. Difficulties with the TILLING approach are also described and discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants12051077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,28]],"date-time":"2023-02-28T03:29:46Z","timestamp":1677554986000},"page":"1077","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["New Low Morphine Opium Poppy Genotype Obtained by TILLING Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ji\u0159\u00ed","family":"\u010cerve\u0148","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Ostrava, Chittussiho 10, 710 00 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Viktor","family":"Vrbovsk\u00fd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Oilseed Crops, Development and Research, Purky\u0148ova 10, 764 01 Opava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ji\u0159\u00ed","family":"Hor\u00e1\u010dek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agritec Plant Research, Ltd., Zem\u011bd\u011blsk\u00e1 2520\/16, 787 01 \u0160umperk, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4415-2220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Bartas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Ostrava, Chittussiho 10, 710 00 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lenka","family":"Endlov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Oilseed Crops, Development and Research, Purky\u0148ova 10, 764 01 Opava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1270-3646","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Petr","family":"Pe\u010dinka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Ostrava, Chittussiho 10, 710 00 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9661-8715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vladislav","family":"\u010curn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics and Agricultural Biotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, University of South Bohemia, Studentsk\u00e1 1668, 370 05 \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.1016\/j.plgene.2016.08.001","article-title":"Genetic Diversity, Population Structure and Marker Trait Associations for Alkaloid Content and Licit Opium Yield in India-Wide Collection of Poppy (Papaver somniferum L.)","volume":"7","author":"Verma","year":"2016","journal-title":"Plant Gene"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"853","DOI":"10.1007\/s11101-018-9563-3","article-title":"Papaver somniferum L.
