Solanoideae
Solanoideae is a subfamily of the flowering plant family Solanaceae, and is sister to the subfamily Nicotianoideae. Within Solanaceae, Solanoideae contains some of the most economically important genera and species, such as the tomato (''Solanum lycopersicum''), potato (''Solanum tuberosum''), eggplant or aubergine (''Solanum melongena''), chili and bell peppers (''Capsicum'' spp.), mandrakes ('' Mandragora'' spp.), and jimson weed ('' Datura stramonium''). This subfamily consists of several well-established tribes: Capsiceae, Datureae, Hyoscyameae, Juanulloeae, Lycieae, Nicandreae, Nolaneae, Physaleae, Solandreae, and Solaneae. The subfamily also contains the contended tribes Mandragoreae and Jaboroseae. Tribal relationships The relationship between the tribes has recently been well described. Nicandreae is the most basal tribe of the family, placing sister to the other 9 (or by some counts 11) tribes. Datureae lies sister to Nicandreae, Physaleae, Capsiceae, ...

Solanaceae
Solanaceae (), commonly known as the nightshades, is a family of flowering plants in the order Solanales. It contains approximately 2,700 species, several of which are used as agricultural crops, medicinal plants, and ornamental plants. Many members of the family have high alkaloid contents, making some highly toxic, but many—such as tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and peppers—are commonly used in food. Originating in South America, Solanaceae now inhabits every continent on Earth except Antarctica. After the K—Pg extinction event they rapidly diversified and have adapted to live in deserts, tundras, rainforests, plains, and highlands, and taken on wide range of forms including trees, vines, shrubs, and epiphytes. Nearly 80% of all nightshades are included in the subfamily Solanoideae, most of which are members of the type genus ''Solanum''. Most taxonomists recognize six other subfamilies: Cestroideae, Goetzeoideae, Nicotianoideae, Petunioideae, Schizanthoideae, an ...

Datureae
Daturae is a tribe of flowering plants in the subfamily Solanoideae of the family Solanaceae. It comprises three genera: ''Datura'', the Devil's trumpets, ''Brugmansia'', the Angel's trumpets, and the monotypic '' Trompettia''. These plants are all genetically related. Phylogenetic research shows that Datura species evolved out of an ancestor shared with Nicotiana Tabacum ''Nicotiana tabacum'', or cultivated tobacco, is an annually grown herbaceous plant of the genus ''Nicotiana''.

Capsiceae
Capsiceae is a taxonomic tribe of bell peppers and related plants belonging to the Solanoideae subfamily within the family Solanaceae. The tribe was described by Barthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortier in 1827. Phylogenomes Research from spacer data proved that the genera '' Lycianthes'' and ''Capsicum'' together form a highly supported clade that placed them in the tribe. Phylogenetic networks support placing the genera ''Capsicum'' and ''Lycanthes'' within a common bifurcating species tree. The earliest fossils assigned to this tribe are from the Early Eocene of the Green River Formation in Colorado, and can be identified by their trademark calyces. This suggests that the Solanaceae may have originated in North America rather than South America as previously assumed, and were dispersed south during the Paleocene The Paleocene ( ), or Palaeocene, is a geological epoch (geology), epoch that lasted from about 66 to 56 mya (unit), million years ago (mya).

Mandragora (genus)
''Mandragora'' is a plant genus belonging to the nightshade family (Solanaceae). Members of the genus are known as mandrakes. Between three and five species are placed in the genus. The one or two species found around the Mediterranean basin, Mediterranean constitute the mandrake of ancient writers such as Dioscorides. Two or three further species are found eastwards into China. All are Perennial plant, perennial herbaceous plants, with large tap roots and leaves in the form of a Rosette (botany), rosette. Individual flowers are bell-shaped, whitish through to violet, and followed by yellow or orange Berry (botany), berries. Like many members of the Solanaceae, species of ''Mandragora'' contain highly biologically active alkaloids that make the plants poisonous. Their roots in particular have a long use in traditional medicine. Mandrakes are involved in many myths and superstitions. Description Species of ''Mandragora'' are perennial herbaceous plants.

Hyoscyameae
Hyoscyameae is an Old World Tribe (biology), tribe of the subfamily Solanoideae of the flowering plant family Solanaceae. It comprises seven genera: ''Anisodus'', ''Atropa'', ''Atropanthe'', ''Hyoscyamus'', ''Physochlaina'', ''Przewalskia'' and ''Scopolia''. The genera ''Atropanthe'' and ''Przewalskia'' are monotypic, the first being endemic to China and the second to Tibet. All seven genera of the tribe are poisonous and have a long tradition of use as medicinal plants, being rich in tropane alkaloids with anticholinergic properties. Furthermore, the genera ''Atropa'', ''Hyoscyamus'', ''Scopolia'' and ''Physochlaina'' have furnished entheogens - the first three in the historical context of European witchcraft and, more specifically, of the flying ointments employed in such practices, while the similar chemistry of the remaining genera points to the potential for entheogenic use. Six of the genera have dry, pyxidial fruits i.e. capsules dehiscing by an Operculum (botany), operculu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nicandreae
''Nicandra '' is a genus of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, native to western South America. It was first described by Michel Adanson in 1763. The genus is named for Greek poet Nicander of Colophon, who wrote about plants – notably in his poem ''Alexipharmaca'', which treats of poisons and their antidotes. , Plants of the World Online Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online taxonomic database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Jaboroseae
''Jaborosa'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Solanaceae, the nightshades. There are about 23 species, all native to South America, where they are distributed from Peru to Patagonia. Most occur in the Andes. Most can be found in Argentina and ten are endemic to the country. Description Most ''Jaborosa'' are rhizomatous perennial herbs except '' J. bergii'' and '' J. sativa'', which are annual or biennial. Ecology '' Jaborosa rotacea'' is pollinated by flies, and '' J. runcinata'' is pollinated by moths. Sphingid moths feed on the nectar of '' J. integrifolia''. Chemistry Like plants in several other genera of the Solanaceae, many ''Jaborosa'' species contain steroid-derived compounds called withanolides. Many of the withanolides isolated from ''Jaborosa'' have been dubbed jaborosalactones. Some withanolides are phytotoxic, having effects on other plants such as inhibiting germination and radicle growth. Some have antifeedant effects, deterring insects such as meal ...
