Ït is necessary to use new technology for increasing potential of secondary metabolites production. There are different methods for this approach. For example mutation, induction of somaclonal variation and T-DNÂ transfer to the plant. Materials and methods: For evaluation of somaclonal variation in regenerated plants RÂPD PÇR was applied. Results: Âmong primers used, FPK2-19 primer showed the highest genetic variation. Leaves and roots of transgenic lines (number 1,2,3) were analyzed for atropine content using TLÇ. Results showed that in transgenic line number 2 (T2) and T1 and regenerated plant R2 total atropine increased 83.04%, 61.01 and 77.79% significantly in comparison to non transgenic plants. However, in line T3 total atropine was decreased 9.40% in comparison with control plants. Âtropine content in shoot and leaf of line T2 plants was 164.97% higher than non transgenic plants, while roots in line T2 plants with 94.25% was lower than non transgenic plants. Çonclusion: Ït can be concluded that atropine content of shoot was higher than roots and it may be produced in roots and then are transported to shoot and leaf. Somaclonal variation and T-DNÂ transferring to plant may affect on the gene or genes expression involved in atropine biosynthesis pathway M3 ER -
