In vitro potential antimicrobial activities of medicinal plants, Cirsium arvense and Cirsium japonicum

Chemical Studies on Plants of Cirsium Arvense Species

Antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of extracts from Cirsium japonicum roots

This study investigated the antioxidant activity of methanol (MeOH) and water extracts from roots of Cirsium japonicumin vitro. MeOH extract showed a stronger free radical scavenging activity than water extract. However, both of extracts showed a concentration dependent hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, reducing power and metal chelating ability. MeOH extract had greater phenolic and flavon...

Establishing systemic rust infections in Cirsium arvense in the field

An existing method to induce systemic rust infections in creeping thistles (Cirsium arvense) using an insect vector, the weevil Ceratapion onopordi, was successfully applied in the field. Urediniospores of Puccinia punctiformis were experimentally transmitted to naturally grown thistles, to our knowledge for the first time resulting in systemically infected shoots in an established thistle popu...

Fungal Phytotoxins for Control of Cirsium arvense and Sonchus arvensis

Perennial weeds, including Cirsium arvense and Sonchus arvensis, are a common problem in crop fields, especially in agricultural systems with reduced herbicide usage. Herbicides recommended for control of these perennials generally are restricted to only a few active ingredients that tend to have low selectivity, especially on dicot crops. Microbial phytotoxins or their synthetic analogues may ...

بوم شناسی جوانه‌زنی بذر علف‌هرز خارلته (Cirsium arvense L)

خارلته (Cirsium arvensis) یکی از مهمترین علف­های هرز مسأله­ساز دنیا و از معضلات مزرعه، باغات، مراتع و چراگاه­ها است. شناخت اکولوژی جوانه‌زنی این علف‌هرز، به توسعه برنامه‌های کنترل آن کمک خواهد کرد. به­منظور بررسی خصوصیات جوانه‌زنی خارلته، آزمایشی تحت شرایط محیطی نور و تاریکی، شوری در چهار سطح (صفر،4-، 8-، 12- بار) با محلول NaCl و خشکی در چهار سطح (صفر، 4-، 8- و 12- بار) با محلول PEG در...
