TL;DR: The AFLP technique was evaluated as a tool for assessing species relationships within the tribe Datureae and genetic distances were estimated and a new classification is proposed, which maintains the arborescent species as a separate genus, Brugmansia, and recognises three sections within the genus Datura.
Abstract: The AFLP technique was evaluated as a tool for assessing species relationships within the tribe Datureae and genetic distances were estimated for 47 accessions of over 12 species. The phenetic trees from various analyses of the AFLP data gave very high co-phenetic correlation values, and were found to be consistent with previous trees based on the analysis of different data types, in particular ITS-1 sequences, isozymes and morphology, carried out on the same accessions. These results indicated that the AFLP technique is both an efficient and effective tool for determining genetic relationships among taxa in the Solanaceae. A new classification is proposed for the tribe Datureae, which maintains the arborescent species as a separate genus, Brugmansia, and recognises three sections within the genus Datura; Stramonium, Dutra and Ceratocaulis. D. discolor, previously placed in section Dutra, was found to be intermediate between sections Dutra and Stramonium.

TL;DR: Sixty-six tropane alkaloids from crude leaf and root alkaloid mixtures of 12 different species and their varieties and subspecies from tribe Datureae were determined by GC–MS and section Ceratocaula appears to be distinct from the other section within the tribe.

TL;DR: Littorine, various tropoyl and tigloyl esters and cuscohygrine are components of the roots of all nine Datura species studied and inclusion in the tribe Datureae is supported on phytochemical grounds.

TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of family Solanaceae was conducted using sequence data from the chloroplast intergenic atpβ-rbcL spacer and established that subfamily Cestroideae comprised of three genera; Cestrum, Lycium and Nicotiana with high bootstrap support.
Abstract: A phylogenetic analysis of family Solanaceae was conducted using sequence data from the chloroplast intergenic atpβrbcL spacer. Sequence data was generated from 17 species representing 09 out of 14 genera of Solanaceae from Pakistan. Cladogram was constructed using maximum parsimony method and results indicate that Solanaceae is mainly divided into two subfamilies; Solanoideae and Cestroideae. Four major clades within Solanoideae represent tribes; Physaleae, Capsiceae, Datureae and Solaneae are supported by high bootstrap value and the relationships among them are not corroborating with the previous studies. The findings established that subfamily Cestroideae comprised of three genera; Cestrum, Lycium and Nicotiana with high bootstrap support. Position of Nicotiana inferred with atpβ-rbcL sequence is congruent with traditional classification, which placed the taxa in Cestroideae. In the current study Lycium unexpectedly nested with Nicotiana with 100% bootstrap support and identified as a member of tribe Nicotianeae. Expanded sampling of other genera from Pakistan could be valuable towards improving our understanding of intrafamilial relationships within Solanaceae.
