A leaf spot pathogen sp. was recovered from jimson weed, tomato, parsley, and coriander collected during surveys of blight diseases on and in Algeria. This species produced large conidial body generating long apical beaks that tapered gradually from a wide base to a narrow tip and short conidiophores originating directly from the agar surface. This species exhibited morphological traits similar to that reported for . The identification of seven strains from different hosts was confirmed by sequence analyses at the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, RNA polymerase second largest subunit, and translation elongation factor 1-alpha loci. Further the pathogen was evaluated on jimson weed, coriander, parsley, and tomato plants, and this fungus was able to cause necrotic lesions on all inoculated plants. is reported for the first time as a new species of the Algerian mycoflora and as a new potential pathogen for cultivated hosts.

Introduction: Datura stramonium (DS) possesses strong medicinal and therapeutic potential but has been rarely evaluated in this context.
Methods: The present study was intended to evaluate the antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and nephroprotective potential of the crude methanolic leaf extract and ethyl acetate, chloroform, n-hexane, and aqueous fractions of DS in paracetamol-intoxicated rabbits. Paracetamol (2 g/Kg BW) was applied to induce liver and kidney injury in rabbits while the methanolic extract and fractions of DS were applied in the dose range of 150 mg/Kg to 300 mg/Kg body weight for 21 days.
Scopolamine is the secondary metabolite of the Datura stramonium and act as a muscarinic receptor antagonist. Previous studies showed that scopolamine caused attention and memory deficit. However, the effects of scopolamine on specific cognitive functions, such as fear learning and social recognition, remain poorly understood.

The present study is centred on the analysis of the chemical compositions of essential oils (EOs) and volatile fractions extracted from the aerial parts of L. (APDSL) utilising traditional hydrodistillation (HD), solid phase microextraction (SPME), and a novel method known as innovative cigarette ignition (Incigig), all in combination with GC/MS. The results of this investigation reveal notable differences in both the types and relative percentages of the primary constituents; however, all identified profiles exhibit a significant presence of non-terpene hydrocarbons.
