What's the difference between jimsonweed and stramonium?
Jimsonweed
Definition:
Example Sentences:

(2) The first of these areas is the Chumash and Yokuts Indian region of California, where polychrome paintings show designs similar to those visualized during the trance induced by decoctions of jimsonweed (Datura species).
Stramonium
Definition:
(n.) A poisonous plant (Datura Stramonium); stinkweed. See Datura, and Jamestown weed.
Example Sentences:
(1) Toxicological analysis of the food samples revealed contamination with Jimson weed (Datura stramonium) seeds which contained an atropine-like alkaloid.
(2) By means of Datura stramonium agglutinin (DSA) affinity electrophoresis, human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was resolved into five bands, AFP-D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5, in order of decreasing mobility.
(3) Therefore, Tetracarpidium lectin complements the binding specificities of well-known lectins such as Datura stramonium agglutinin, Phaseolus vulgaris agglutinin, and lentil lectin and will be a useful additional tool for the identification and separation of complex-type glycans.
(4) The first half of gene VI specified the type of local lesions and systemic spread of recombinant strains in D. stramonium.
(5) Datura stramonium contains a compound that impairs learning retention in mice.
(6) Psychopathological findings in two cases of oral poisoning with toxins of "Datura stramonium" (thorn apple) and "Hyoscyamus niger" (insane roof) are reported.
(7) Comparing with matched control groups the levels of pp in asthma and chronic bronchitis were significantly higher (P less than 0.05 & 0.01) After using compound Datura stramonium, the levels decreased.
(8) Binding of lectins from Limax flavus (LFA), Lens culinaris (LCA), Datura stramonium (DSA), Ricinus communis (RCA I), Ulex europeus (UEA I) and Phaseolus vulgaris (PHA L) was assayed semiquantitatively on ultrathin sections.
(9) In all cases studied, Gaucher cells stained with Concanavalia ensiformis agglutinin, Datura stramonium agglutinin, Lens culinaris, Ricinus communis agglutinin-I, and wheat germ agglutinin.
(10) Lectin from Datura stramonium (DSA) reacted also with the inhibitor indicating complex and hybrid sugar structures.
(11) 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.
(12) Whereas ordinary strains of CaMV are unable to infect solanaceous species except to replicate locally in inoculated leaves, a new CaMV strain (D4) induces chlorotic local lesions and systemically infects both D. stramonium and N. bigelovii.
(13) Datura stramonium agglutinin (DSA) binds the asparagine-linked sugar chains commonly found in the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) purified from urine of patients with invasive mole or choriocarcinoma, but not in that of normal pregnant women or patients with hydatidiform mole.
(14) These large size glycopeptides did not bind to Con A-Sepharose but did bind to Datura stramonium-agarose, from which they were eluted with chitobiose.
(15) The presence of polylactosamine was confirmed by binding to a Datura stramonium lectin column which retarded and bound approx.
