Enhanced secretory activity of Atropa belladonna hairy root culture over-expressing ADP-ribosylation factor gene. (1/1)
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of leaf tissues of Atropa belladonna with an adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation factor gene of carrot, arf-001, was performed employing pBCR82 as an expression vector. This vector co-expresses rol gene cluster together with arf-001, and thus, the transformed host cells were obtained as hairy roots. Two cell lines of the transformed belladonna were established as the liquid cultures of hairy root tissues, and expression of arf-001 and accumulation of its product in the cells were confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses, respectively. A marked increase in extracellular protein concentrations was observed in the transformed belladonna root cultures as compared with the controls transformed with an empty vector. However, the secretion of the proteins of the transformants was markedly reduced in the presence of a physiological concentration of monensin. These results suggest that over-expression of arf-001 in belladonna results in the enhancement of secretory activity in the transformed cells. (+info)'Atropa belladonna' is a plant species that is commonly known as deadly nightshade. It belongs to the family Solanaceae and is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. The plant contains powerful toxic alkaloids, including atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, which can have various pharmacological effects on the human body.
Atropa belladonna has been used in medicine for its anticholinergic properties, which include blocking the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the nervous system. This effect can be useful in treating conditions such as Parkinson's disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and respiratory problems. However, due to its high toxicity, the use of Atropa belladonna and its alkaloids is closely regulated and requires medical supervision.
It is important to note that all parts of the plant, including the berries and leaves, are highly toxic and can cause serious harm or death if ingested or otherwise introduced to the body. Therefore, it is essential to exercise caution when handling this plant and to seek immediate medical attention if exposure occurs.
"Atropa" is a genus of plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), and it includes some well-known toxic species such as Atropa belladonna, also known as deadly nightshade. The name "Atropa" comes from Greek mythology, where Atropos was one of the three Fates who decided the length of a person's life thread and ultimately cut it when their time had come.
The plants in this genus contain powerful alkaloids such as atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, which have anticholinergic properties. These compounds can affect the nervous system by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in various functions including muscle contraction, heart rate, and digestion.
Medical definitions of "Atropa" typically refer to the genus of plants or its individual species, rather than having a specific medical meaning on their own. However, the alkaloids found in these plants have important medical applications, particularly in ophthalmology, where they are used to dilate the pupils during eye examinations, and in emergency medicine, where they can be used to treat certain types of nerve agent or pesticide poisoning.
Belladonna alkaloids are a group of toxic substances found in the deadly nightshade plant (Atropa belladonna) and other related plants such as Jimsonweed (Datura stramonium) and Daturawort (Datura metel). These alkaloids include atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine. They have anticholinergic properties, which means they block the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the nervous system.
These alkaloids are used in medical treatments for conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, Parkinson's disease, and lung conditions, but they can also have serious side effects, including dry mouth, blurred vision, rapid heartbeat, and confusion. In high doses, belladonna alkaloids can cause delirium, hallucinations, and even death. Therefore, they must be used with caution and under the close supervision of a healthcare professional.
Hyoscyamus is the genus name for a group of plants commonly known as Henbane. These plants belong to the Solanaceae family, which also includes nightshade, tobacco, and potato. Hyoscyamus niger, or black henbane, is the species most commonly referred to in a medical context.
The plants contain various alkaloids, including scopolamine, hyoscine (also known as atropine), and hyoscyamine. These substances can have medicinal applications but are also highly toxic in large amounts. They can affect the nervous system, causing delirium, hallucinations, and other symptoms.
In a medical context, 'Hyoscyamus' may also refer to medications that contain alkaloids derived from these plants. These are used primarily to treat gastrointestinal disorders, as they can reduce gastric secretions and have antispasmodic effects. However, due to their potential for serious side effects, including hallucinations and cardiac problems, these medications are typically used only when other treatments have not been effective.

- Atropa Belladonna is still Shay & Blues award-winning, best-selling scent, so this is quite an exciting opportunity to get your hands on 3 products from this gorgeous collection. (letstalkbeauty.co.uk)
Solanaceae3
- Atropa is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, Solanaceae: tall, calcicole, herbaceous perennials (rhizomatous hemicryptophytes), bearing large leaves and glossy berries particularly dangerous to children, due to their combination of an attractive, cherry-like appearance with a high toxicity. (wikipedia.org)
- [1] Ang Atropa sakop sa kabanay nga Solanaceae . (wikipedia.org)
- This is the first example of a human brain-enriched transcription factor, ZNF-691, targeted and down-regulated by a naturally occurring plant microRNA, with potential to modulate gene expression in the human CNS and thus contribute to the neurotoxicological-and-psychoactive properties of the Atropa belladonna species of the deadly nightshade Solanaceae family.

Acuminata7
- Atropa acuminata Royle ex Lindl. (wikipedia.org)
- Atropa acuminata Royle ex Miers - (not an accepted species, though probably referable to the species above) is reported to occur not only in Kashmir, but also in Iran and Mongolia - which would make it the easternmost of the Atropa species, and possibly of disjunct distribution. (wikipedia.org)
- It will be seen from the above that there is an overlap in the respective distributions of A. acuminata, A. komarovii and A. pallidiflora in the lush Hyrcanian forests of Northern Iran, and it is possible that some or all of these species may yet be subsumed in the concept Atropa belladonna. (wikipedia.org)
- The reported presence of an Atropa species in Mongolia is intriguing, given that country's relative remoteness from Kashmir and its (Kashmir's) well-attested population of Atropa acuminata Royle ex Lindl. (wikipedia.org)
- The single species Pauia belladonna Deb and Dutta is described as bearing a marked similarity to Atropa acuminata Royle ex Lindl. (wikipedia.org)

Tropane alkaloids2
- The pharmacologically active ingredients of Atropa species include atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, all tropane alkaloids having anticholinergic, deliriant, antispasmodic and mydriatic properties. (wikipedia.org)
- We speculate that the potent neurotoxic actions of the multiple tropane alkaloids of Atropa belladonna may be supplemented by the neuroregulatory actions of aba-miRNA-9497 on ZNF-691, and this may be followed by the modulation in the expression of ZNF-691-sensitive genes.
