Streptosolen

Streptosolen, a plant with no traditional medicinal uses recorded, has been the subject of genetic and virological studies. Genetic research indicates that fruit development in Streptosolen differs from other Solanaceae plants due to distinct gene duplications and expression patterns. Additionally, a study detected Tomato apical stunt viroid in symptomless Streptosolen jamesonii and Lycianthes rantonnetii plants in the Netherlands, with similar findings reported for Brugmansia sp., though without visible symptoms. The presence of Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 causing crown and stem rot was also documented in marmalade bush plants (Streptosolen jamesonii) in Italy. To date, no significant safety issues or drug interactions have been reported for Streptosolen.
