Abstract
The content of the alkaloid glaucine was evaluated in Glaucium flavum plants from seven localities along the Bulgarian Black sea coast during two consecutive years, in order to select those with highest glaucine content. Some fluctuations of glaucine content were observed during the two years, and in most of the localities the alkaloid was lower in 2015. Pomorie and Ahtopol maintained high percentages of glaucine in the dry plant material in the two investigated years, being 2.3% for Pomorie in 2014 and for Ahtopol in 2015. The lowest percentages of glaucine were recorded in the plant material from Shkorpilovtsi (0.9% and 0.6%, respectively in 2014 and 2015). Fluctuations in glaucine content were probably due to some abiotic factors as light, temperature, precipitation, soil substrate, salinity, etc.
