Nopaline is a chemical compound present in Opuntia ficus-indica, known as the prickly pear cactus. It′s an amino acid produced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterium that infects the plant and leads to tumor formation. Nopaline′s unique properties have made it a subject of extensive scientific research. It serves as a marker in genetic transformation experiments, where the nopaline synthase gene is introduced into plant cells along with a gene of interest, facilitating the identification of successfully transformed cells.l
