	Solanaceae
		Solanaceae will be a single, limited edition zine dedicated to the human experience with the Solanaceae family of plants, the Nightshades.
		Members of the Solanaceae family include plants that are deadly poisons, staple foods, powerful hallucinogens, roadside "weeds," ornamental flowers, highly intoxicating or addictive substances, a source for folk and Western medicines...
		Experiences and inspiration from all members of the family are encouraged, whichever may have spoken to you or has had a major influence.

	Solanaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The nightshades (Family Solanaceae) are a family of dicots, many of which are edible, while others are considered poisonous.
		However, Solanaceae species are often rich in alkaloidal glucosides that can range in their toxicity to humans and animals from mildly irritating to fatal in small quantities.
		The Solanaceae are known for possessing a diverse range of alkaloidal glucosides, or simply alkaloids.

	Solanales
		Solanaceae are quite often rather foetid herbs or weak shrubs with polysymmetric or weakly bisymmetric sympetalous flowers - when bisymmetrical, the flowers are held so that "the" odd petal is in the adaxial position.
		Vegetatively many Solanaceae - especially Solanoideae, the bulk of the family - are distinctive because the insertion of leaves, branches and flowers often does not seem to follow any regular sequence; paired leaves adjacent on the stem are common.
		The two carpels so common in Solanaceae (but Nicandra has 3-5) are often in the plane of the first K initiated; this is one of the abaxial pair.

	Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society: Floral ontogeny of Salpiglossis (Solanaceae) and the oblique gynoecium1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The floral orientation of Solanaceae, as exemplified by Salpiglossis, has the staminode and a calyx lobe in the abaxial position, which is a synapomorphy with respect to other Asteridae.
		The taxonomic descriptions of Solanaceae above suggest the plane of symmetry that bisects the two locules of the gynoecium is oblique with respect to the median plane of the flower (Fig.
		The floral descriptions of Solanaceae reflected the prevailing hypothesis that Solanaceae were phylogenetically close to Scrophulariaceae, linked via zygomorphic genera in Solanaceae and slightly zygomorphic taxa in Scrophulariaceae, like Verbascum, which at one time was placed in the basal tribe Pseudosolaneae (Wettstein 1895).

		Most members of the Solanaceae family are poisonous due to the presence of tropane or steroid alkaloids.
		A few Solanaceae are ornamentals, the most important of which is Petunia.
		The Solanaceae are generally herbs, shrubs, or vines with alternate, non-stipulate, simple to pinnately-dissected leaves.

		There are relatively few direct, experimental demonstrations of their roles in pollen transfer, however, many of the relationships having been deduced from observations of visits and from examination of pollen on the insects' mouthparts (as reviewed in [13,16]).
		Experimental studies of species of Solanaceae and Convolvulaceae have demonstrated that hawkmoths are involved in pollination of predominant selfers [19-21].
		The GUS and antibiotic-resistance marker genes, which have already found use in pollination biology for field studies of gene dispersal [22-24] and to examine pollen-tube growth [25], provide an additional tool for such investigations, permitting confirmation of the acceptance of exogenous pollen and evaluation of the relative contributions of pollinators to seed set.

		The Solanaceae is a cosmopolitan family, occurring in tropical and temperate regions throughout the world.
		Many species of Solanaceae produce tropane alkaloids that have valuable medicinal properties, but which may also be extremely poisonous.
		The Convolvulceae differs from the Solanaceae in several non-morphological characters, but the species in northern Utah are all herbaceous vines, whereas the Solanaceae in Utah are erect.

		The plant family of the Solanaceae (the nightshade family) is one of the most intriguing plant families in the world.
		It's name Solanaceae is possibly derived from Solari which means ‘soothing’ in Latin.
		It might also be possible that the name night ‘shades’ refers to the toxicological properties of several Solanum species which can bring damage (Dutch: schade) to an individual, or refer to demoniacal powers (Danish: natskade or night-raven and Swedish: nattskata or bat).

	BGCI - Botanic Gardens - The Solanaceae germplasm bank at the Botanical Garden of Nijmegen
		Conservation of the genetic resources of the Solanaceae family is the main objective of the build-up of our germplasm collection of non-tuber-bearing Solanaceae which are mostly of wild origin.
		All plants are grown in individual containers to accommodate their requirements with regard to watering, fertilizer etc., to prevent disease spread via root contact, and also to be able to move plants as necessary from warm to cold greenhouses or outside in the summer.
		Growing Solanaceae at our latitude has the advantage that there is no danger of escape of known weedy species since they will not survive our winters.

	ECP/GR - Vegetables, MAP Network: Solanaceae Working Group
		A Solanaceae Informal Group was formed to start collaboration on genetic resources of some Solanaceae species, mainly eggplant, tomato and pepper, excluding potato, since this species is included in the ECP/GR Sugar, Starch and Fibre Crops Network (at that time called Industrial Crops and Potato Network).
		According to the high number of Solanaceae accessions held in Europe (about 5000 accessions for eggplant, 13 000 for pepper and 23 000 for tomato), it was decided that the compilation of the passport data would be done separately for each crop.
		The partners of the WG on Solanaceae are encouraged to use EGGNET protocols as far as eggplant is concerned, and should agree jointly on common protocols for pepper, tomato, Physalis sp.

		Due to the high sequence conservation among Solanaceae species, potato cDNA microarrays can be used for expression profiling of a range of Solanaceae species.
		The Solanaceae, which includes tomato, potato, pepper, eggplant, tobacco and petunia, is a large and economically important plant family.
		With significant levels of DNA sequence homology and cross hybridization between potato and other members of the Solanaceae, we can exploit these resources and include other commercially relevant members of this family, including tomato, eggplant, pepper, and petunia thereby generating a comprehensive Solanaceae gene expression database.

	An Apparent Relation of Nightshades (Solanaceae) to Arthritis
		Plants in the drug family, Solanaceae (nightshades) are an important causative factor in arthritis in sensitive people.
		Some drugs from the Solanaceae are widely used in medicine, such as scopolamine, atropine, hyoscyamine, and belladonna [7].
		Eventually, others who were avoiding food nightshades to control their arthritis began asking, "Why don't you do something about this to help others?" Consequently, announcements were placed in the horticultural media; these drew over 400 interested volunteers, most of whom reported various degrees of success in controlling their arthritis.

		Phylogenetic Systematics of Nolana (Solanaceae) and Biogeographic Implications for the Atacama and Peruvian Deserts
		Members of the Nolana have traditionally been recognized at the familial (Nolanaceae) or subfamilial (Nolanoideae) rank in the Solanaceae due to their unusual gynoecium of mericarps, however, results from molecular systematics have placed Nolana L. firmly within the family Solanaceae with closest relationships to Lycium L. and Grabowskia Schldl.
		(Solanaceae) was originally described by Linnaeus in 1762 and derives its origin from the Latin, nola or small bell.

		Interpretive Summary: The Solanaceae is the plant family that includes tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers, and is one of the economically most important plant families on earth.
		While taxonomy provides the framework to make the linkage to genomics, this is hindered by the need for more taxonomic research, most notably a global treatment of the species in the family, including up-to-date species descriptions and phylogeny studies.
		Technical Abstract: Recent progress in understanding the phylogeny of the economically important plant family Solanaceae makes this an ideal time to develop models for linking the new data on plant genomics with the huge diversity of naturally occurring species in the family.
