Phenylpropanoids and fatty acids levels in roots and leaves of datura stramonium and datura innoxia

TL;DR: A difference in phenylpropanoids and fatty acids compositions between the two Datura species was showed, with a significantly higher concentration of phenyl Propanoids in DaturA innoxia than in Daturea stramonium.

Biosynthesis of anthraquinone derivatives in a Sesamum indicum hairy root culture.

TL;DR: Neither MPAQ nor 2-geranyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone was converted to anthrasesamone B and 2,3-epoxyanthrasesAMone B, other anthraquinone derivatives in the hairy roots, suggesting that these substrates may not be the common precursors in the biosynthesis of anthraquone derivatives.

Annual Datura accessions as source of alkaloids, oil and protein under Mediterranean conditions

TL;DR: With the exception of CO2 assimilation rate and stomatal conductance, leaf physiological traits were affected by growing season but only carbon isotope discrimination and leaf N concentration differed between accessions, concluding that growing season conditions controlled Datura qualitative traits and the respective yields.
