Protein chemotaxonomy of genus Datura. IV. Amino acid sequence of Datura ferredoxins depends not on the species but the section of Datura plants from which it comes.

The complete amino acid sequences of [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins from Datura quercifolia (section Stramonium) and D. fastuosa (section Dutra) have been determined by automated Edman degradation of the entire Cm-protein and of the peptides obtained by tryptic digestion and CNBr treatment. The D. quercifolia and D. fastuosa ferredoxins exhibited identical amino acid sequences to D. stramonium (section Stramonium) and D. metal (section Dutra) ferredoxins, respectively. This result suggests that the amino acid sequence of Datura ferredoxins depends on the section but not the species of Datura plants.

Antimicrobial activity of Datura innoxia and Datura stramonium.

The antibacterial activity of the methanol extracts of the aerial parts of the Datura innoxia and Datura stramonium was investigated. The extracts showed activity against Gram (+) bacteria in a dose dependent manner. Little or no antibacterial activity was found against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

[TMV-infection localization and development of induced virus resistance in Nicotiana sanderae Hort., Datura stramonium L. and Datura metel].

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 infected by TMV independent of localization mechanism. No definite correlation exists between these defense reactions.

Protein chemotaxonomy of genus Datura: identical amino acid sequence of ferredoxin from two varieties of Datura stramonium.

The complete amino acid sequence of the respective [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins from two varieties of Datura stramonium, D. stramonium var. stramonium and D. stramonium var. tatula, have been determined by automated Edman degradation of the entire Cm-protein and of the peptides obtained by tryptic digestion and CNBr treatment. The ferredoxins from the two plants exhibited identical amino acid sequences, suggesting a very close taxonomic relationship between the two. This result supports the proposal by Blakeslee and others that these plants, at first named by Linnaeus as two distinct species, i.e. D. stramonium L. and D. tatula L., should be considered two varieties of a single species.

Datura contamination of hay as the suspected cause of an extensive outbreak of impaction colic in horses.

Datura poisoning of horses is extensively reviewed. An outbreak of intractable impaction colic affecting 18 of 83 horses was stopped by withdrawing dried tef hay contaminated with young Datura plants. The dried, botanically identified Datura stramonium and D. ferox contained respectively 0.15% mass/mass (m/m) hyoscyamine as well as 0.16% m/m hyoscine (scopolamine) and only hyoscine at a concentration of 0.11% m/m. Immature, unidentifiable plants resembling D. stramonium, contained 0.14% m/m and 0.12% m/m of the 2 respective tropane alkaloids. The outbreak was characterised by protracted and repeated colic attacks due to impaction of the large colon and/or caecum without any other anti-muscarinic signs. Comparative analyses of single specimens of dried seed of the 2 species collected from both fertilised and waste areas revealed that young South African Datura spp. had levels of tropane alkaloids comparable to those in the well-known toxic seed and were, consequently, equally toxic. The inherent danger of tef hay being contaminated with Datura is emphasised. To our knowledge this is the 1st field case of poisoning in horses ascribed to the vegetative parts of Datura spp.
