Datura innoxia
Datura inoxia
Datura inoxia, also known as Jimsonweed, is a traditional plant with origins primarily in North America. While it has been used in various cultural practices for its psychoactive and medicinal properties, no specific traditional uses have been recorded. Scientific research has shown promising results, such as increased atropine production through the use of carbon nanotubes and plasma treatments, which enhance gene expression and modify DNA methylation. Additionally, microbial associations with Datura inoxia roots indicate potential interactions that could influence plant growth and development, though detailed mechanisms remain unclear. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been reported for this plant, suggesting it may be relatively safe when used appropriately.

What the science says
- Atropine production in Datura inoxia calluses increased by 64% when cultured with 5 mgL-1 COOH-MWCNTs.
- Plasma treatment increased atropine production and biomass in Datura inoxia callus by enhancing gene expression and modifying DNA methylation.
- Most bacterial genera were shared between Datura inoxia plants and Lema daturaphila insects, but their abundances varied significantly.
- The study found that microbes associated with Datura inoxia roots had elevated functions related to bacterial chalcone synthase and permease genes.
