“…D. stramonium contains sixty-four tropane alkaloids 2 . It is a rich source of alkaloids including atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine out of which, hyoscyamine is the chief component and found in maximum concentration 3 . production of secondary metabolites for adaptation against adverse conditions.…”

Datura stramonium (L.), a multipurpose plant of Himalayan regions which possess antiseptic, sedative, antidiarrhoeal properties used for treating various diseases which include treatment of ulcer, skin disorder, jaundice, fever, heart diseases, etc. To evaluate the temperature stress-mediated morphological, physiochemical, and antioxidative defense in Datura stramonium, plants were subjected to different temperature conditions (High temperature and Low temperature). The seedlings were exposed to five temperature conditions (50 °C, 40 °C, 30 °C, 20 °C, and 10°C). Seedlings grown at 25 °C were treated as control. Temperature treatment significantly decreased stem length, root length, fresh weight, dry weight, and leaf area both in high temperature as well as low-temperature stress. Phytochemicals as carbohydrate, protein, alkaloids, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, tocopherol and enzymatic antioxidants, i.e. superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione-s-transferase, and DPPH increased tremendously with both temperature stresses in comparison to the control. Carotenoids and chlorophyll found increased in low temperature whereas decreased in high temperature stressed plants. HPLC analysis of secondary metabolites revealed higher alkaloids (Atropine, Scopolamine) content in high temperature and low temperature treated plants. Results depicted that plant adopt protective mechanism against oxidative damage by maintaining a higher quantity of phytochemicals, enzymatic, and non-enzymatic antioxidants. Increased secondary metabolites also provide a defense mechanism against the adverse condition. The plant contains various medicinal properties and useful in the treatment of skin disorders, ulcers, bronchitis, jaundice, heart diseases, fever, and piles 4. Climate changes occurring in the environment are somehow important for plants as these alter the

“…It belongs to the Solanaceae family and is known to be a medicinal herb. Several findings show that D. stramonium plant contains compounds like alkaloids, saponins, steroids, tannins, and glycosides which exhibit antimicrobial properties (Soni et al, 2012;Alapati and Sulthan, 2015;Manikandan and Ananth, 2016). Due to its bitterness and poisonous nature, it is traditionally used in many drugs for the treatment of skin disorders, ear pains, coughs, fever, gastric pains, asthmatic attacks, sprains, muscle pains, cramps contusions, snakebites, piles, convulsions, gums during toothache and applied on dog bite wounds (Alapati and Sulthan, 2015;Aqib Sayyed, 2015).…”

Functional finishes are agents that are applied to fabrics to make them suitable for specific uses and contribute a specific attribute to a fabric without altering its appearance. In this context, the present study reveals the importance of dyed fabrics with Datura stramonium plant leaf extracts to control antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which have been a threat to human health and posed noticeable challenges confronted with medical physicians in the treatment of many infectious diseases. More still, the importance of using natural dye is not limited to its antimicrobial and other medicine values but also to its wide range of advantages via elimination of environmental pollution due to the usage of synthetic dyes. 100% plain woven, desized, scoured and bleached cotton fabric samples and 100% degummed and bleached hand knitted silk fabric samples were dyed with aqueous extracts from D. stramonium plant leaves in combination with Alum and Iron Sulphate as mordants using post-mordanting method and then tested against two strains of Staphylococus aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative bacteria) using Agar diffusion method as per SN195920-1992 standard. The fastness properties (wash fastness, light fastness and rubbing fastness) of the dyed fabrics were assessed following guidelines from The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) and International Organization for Standardisation (ISO) testing methods. Spectrophotometric experiments were employed to evaluate the colour strength (K/S) of the dyed samples. The antimicrobial activity results showed that for both cotton and silk dyed fabric samples; there was an interruption of the microbial growth beneath the fabric and a clear zone of inhibition around the fabric. Dye ability and fastness results showed that dyed fabric samples with D. stramonium extracts using mordants had relatively high colour strength (K/S) values as compared to the control fabrics which were dyed without a mordant and their colorant was more stable to light, rubbing and washing, respectively.
