N-methyl-Δ1-pyrrolinium is synthesized from arginine and/ or ornithine, and is controlled by putrescine N-methyl transferase (PMT), which is the key enzyme in diverting metabolism towards the biosynthesis of nicotine and others alkaloids [12, 13]. PubMed:19165623

Experiments involving RNA-mediated gene silencing with transgenic Nicotiana plants have shown that a decrease in PMT expression levels can lead to low nicotine content PubMed:19165623

Down-regulation of PMT expression led to elevation of anatabine level in transgenic tobacco root lines and leaf tissues of regenerated tobacco plants PubMed:19165623
