Datura
Definition:

Example Sentences:

(8) Datura treatment was found to cause an increase in the activity of brain lipid peroxidase and catalase, while it caused a decrease in the activity of fructose diphosphate aldolase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme.
(9) The authors warn physicians that intoxication by Angel's Trumpet (Datura sauveolens) is becoming more frequent due to its use by adolescents and young adults as a legal, readily available hallucinogen.
(10) Datura stramonium contains a compound that impairs learning retention in mice.

(15) Ultrastructural features of embryogenic pollen in Datura innoxia are described, just prior to, during, and after completion of the first division of the presumptive vegetative cell.
(16) Lectin from Datura stramonium (DSA) reacted also with the inhibitor indicating complex and hybrid sugar structures.
(17) A series of streptavidin-biotinylglycans was first coated on a microtiter plate, and then one of six lectins, concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutinin, Phaseolus vulgaris (red kidney bean) erythro-agglutinin, Lens culinaris (lentil) agglutinin, Datura stramoniun agglutinin, or Sambucus nigra (elderberry bark) agglutinin coupled to horseradish peroxidase, was added.
(18) Data are presented for suspension-cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum and Datura innoxia and for the leaf and root of tobacco.
(19) An increase in the DNA and RNA contents of brain was noted after the treatment with Datura.
(20) Polylactosaminoglycan modification of SHp was established from three lines of investigation: (1) the synthesis of SHp in a cell line (IdID) conditionally defective in the ability to add specific carbohydrate residues to N- or O-linked oligosaccharide chains required the addition of galactose, which is a component of the N-acetyllactosamine repeating unit; (2) SHp was sensitive to digestion with endo-beta-galactosidase, which cleaves the beta 1-4 linkage between galactose and N-acetylglucosamine of the repeated N-acetyllactosamine subunit; and (3) SHp was selected by Datura stramonium lectin (Dsl), which has specificity for polylactosaminoglycans.
Moonflower
Definition:
(n.) The oxeye daisy; -- called also moon daisy.
(n.) A kind of morning glory (Ipomoea Bona-nox) with large white flowers opening at night.
