01Narrative

Papaver arenarium is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae, native to the Caucasus and Caspian regions. It and Papaver bracteatum deviate from the usual morphine-producing pathway typically used by other members of Papaver, with, for example, P.arenarium producing N-demethylcodeine at the step that P.somniferum produces morphine.

05DNA & barcodingmolecular

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Papaver arenarium has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Papaver arenarium carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.

Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged

2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants. Click any value below to see the underlying records and sources.
