datura inoxia/nicotine

The effect of various inhibitors on differentiation (shoot morphogenesis) in callus cultures of Brassica, Datura and Nicotiana has been investigated. Hormone medium without any inhibitor (control), resulted in 6% shoot formation. Addition of inhibitors such as actinomycin D, cordycepin, abscisic

Tobacco vein banding mosaic virus (TVBMV) has been reported in Taiwan (1), North America (Tennessee) (2), and Japan (3) and induces a severe disease of tobacco. During surveys on viruses of vegetables in China, TVBMV was isolated from a Datura stramonium weed plant in July 1998 in Shaanxi Province.

S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase activity (SAMDC; EC 4.1.1.21) leads to spermidine and spermine synthesis through specific synthases which use putrescine, spermidine and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine as substrates. In order to better understand the regulation of polyamine (PA), namely

The chemical defenses of plants are thought to play many different functional roles, all of which in some way decrease the costs of deploying the defense. However, few of these other functions have been tested with metabolites that are clearly defensive. Nicotine is a potent chemical defense with a

Datura stramonium is a well-known medicinal plant, which is important for its alkaloids. There are intrinsic limitations for the natural production of alkaloids in plants; metabolic engineering methods can be effectively used to conquer these limitations. In order for this the genes involved in

The localization of virus infection and development of local and systemic induced resistance in plants Nicotiana sanderae Hort., Datura stramonium L. and D. metel L. infected by TMV have been studied. It was shown that acquired resistance to the second infection is induced in hypersensitive plants

Tobacco floral nectar (FN) is a biological fluid produced by nectaries composed of sugars, amino acids and proteins called nectarins, involved in the floral defense. FN provides an ideal source of nutrients for microorganisms. Understanding the role of nectar proteins is essential to predict impacts

Ultrastructural examination of tobacco mosaic virus-induced local lesions developing in leaves of Datura stramonium plants demonstrated that, in the central area of the lesions, the cell response to viral invasion was not uniform. Most cells exhibited an acute hypersensitive reaction and underwent

The known host range of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV, genus Polerovirus, family Luteoviridae) is narrow, consisting of 21 species in 5 families: 3 Amaranthaceae, 2 Cruciferae, 1 Nolanaceae, 1 Portulacaceae, and 14 Solanaceae. Over a period of years, we identified 22 additional host species of PLRV in
