Datura ferox
TaxID: 169103
Basic Information
Datura ferox
Angel's-trumpets
Datura ferox, commonly known as long spined thorn apple and fierce thornapple, as well as Angel's-trumpets, is a species of Datura. Like all such species, every part of the plant contains deadly toxins that can kill animals (including humans) that ingest it. Its fruit, red-brown when ripe, has unusually long thorns or spikes. The species was first described in 1756 by Linnaeus. Ferox means "strongly fortified," referring to the fearsome-looking spines on the seed pod. The species was long thought to have originated in southeastern China, but recent work by Symon and Haegi has demonstrated that, like all other Datura species, it is in fact native to the Americas. The species is very close in morphology to Datura quercifolia, of which it may constitute a subspecies. Today it is found in all the warm parts of the earth, where it is regarded as a dangerous pasture weed. Datura ferox is a stout, upright annual herb 1.5 to 3 ft (45 to 90 cm) high. Its thick stalks often have a red-violet color at the base. All the young shoots are noticeably hairy. The most conspicuous part of the plant is its very wide, undulate, irregularly toothed leaves, which are covered with soft, downy hairs. The yellowish white flowers are funnel-shaped and inconspicuous, and usually do not open completely.

PRJNA1070281 SRX29980014 SRP494843 weed Datura ferox_H117 For RNA extractions we collected three mature leaves from all selected plants and collected root samples from a subset of 15 TA producing species and two Solanum species. The material was snap-freezed in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until extraction. For RNA extractions we pooled organ from the tree individuals to obtain a single pool per species. RNA was extracted with 1:1 trizolchloroform and precipitated in isopropanol and 75% ethanol. Quality control was performed by (1) electrophoresis in a 2% agarose gel, (2) evaluation of 260/280 and 260/230 absorbance ratios in a Nanodrop device, and (3) RNA quantification in Qubit. Samples that passed quality controls were sent to NovoGene for RNAseq genotyping using paired-end 150 bp libraries and an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 S4 Sequencing System.
