Purpose: The study aimed to overcome the seed dormancy of Datura stramonium L. by chemical scarification, pre-chilling, and different gibberellic acid (GA3) levels.
 Materials Methods: seeds were prechilled at 4°C 10°C for 7 days treated with sulfuric (97-98% H2SO4) 15 minutes, increasing doses GA3 (250, 500, 1000 ppm). Distilled water hydration untreated served as a control.

It is shown by tracer experiments with DL-[2-3H,5-14C]- and DL-[(RS)-5-3H,5-14C]rnithine, that the metabolic conversion of ornithine into proline, in three plant species (Nicotiana tabacum, Datura stramonium, and Lupinus angustifolius), takes place with maintenance of the delta-hydrogen atoms but with loss of the alpha-hydrogen atom. This indicates a route via alpha-keto-delta-aminovaleric acid...

Thorn Apple or Jimson Weed (Datura stramonium) is a tropane alkaloid containing widespread pest plant growing in central Europe. This predominantly occurs millet, buckwheat and maize cultivation.

Background: Datura stramonium is a poisonous and common flowering plant that is a member of the Solanacae family. Datura poisonings are a rare occurrence in the 21st century, making toxicological information on this plant sparse. Historical information on Datura provides useful information on the clinical symptoms and characteristics of poisonings. This review looks at the state of knowledge on...

Selection exerted by herbivores is a major force driving the evolution of plant defensive characters such as leaf trichomes or secondary metabolites. However, plant defense expression is highly variable among populations and identifying the sources of this variation remains a major challenge. Plant populations are often distributed across broad geographic ranges and are exposed to different her...
