Beschreibung Lophophora williamsii (commonly called peyote) is a small, spineless cactus with psychoactive alkaloids, particularly mescaline. Peyote uses crassulacean acid metabolic rate (CAM), an alternate form of photosynthesis that exists in succulents such as cacti and also other desert plants. Its transcriptome can be taken into consideration a vital source for future research study focused on comprehending exactly how these plants make extra reliable usage of water in minimal atmospheres and also for study focused on better understanding of the overall devices leading to production of plant all-natural items and additional metabolites. The "Peyote" is a small, fleshy cactus without spinal columns that expands wild in the Mexican highlands and in the arid regions of South-western United States. Peyote comes from the genus Lophophora, which includes 2 varieties, L. williamsii as well as L. diffusa. This lophophora williamsii plant can creating huge amounts of alkaloids with psychotropic task, such as β-phenylethylamine or tetrahydroisoquinoline, which are derived from the amino acid tyrosine. The feature of most alkaloids in plants is unclear and their relevance in metabolism is extremely questionable. Alkaloids are heterocyclic compounds which contain a nitrogen atom. The position of the nitrogen atom in the hydrocarbon ring varies amongst various alkaloids and different plant households. The degrees of alkaloids in plants likewise vary from trace amounts to as much as 10 % of completely dry weight, and a solitary plant types might include over one thousand of different kinds. The majority of alkaloids are extremely poisonous and also for that reason have the potential to function in the chemical protection toolbox of plants against strike by herbivores as well as microorganisms. Alkaloids have actually commonly been of fantastic rate of interest to human beings because of their noticable physical as well as medical residential or commercial properties. Peyote mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) is a class I hallucinogenic alkaloid, and although it is chemically unconnected to lysergic acid diethyl amide (LSD), the hallucinogenic effects of mescaline are similar to those of LSD, albeit longer long-term.
