FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF Carduus nutans SEEDS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carduus nutans L. is a biennial plant which is belonging to Asteraceae family known as musk or nodding thistle commonly. Carduus species includes different active ingredients like essential oil, resin, tannin, fatty oil, starch, flavonolignans, polyacetylenes. Importance of phytochemistry and chemical ecology researches increase gradually. The fat extraction was carried out by Soxhlet method with Büchi Extraction System B-811. The GC analysis was carried out using an Agilent 6890N GC system. The flame ionization detector (FID) temperature was set to 300C. The GC-MS analysis was carried out with an Agilent 5975 GC-MSD system. Innowax FSC column as above was used with helium as carrier gas (0.8 mL/minute gas flow). In this study, we found 13 different fatty acid compounds in Carduus nutans seed extract. The compounds were caprylic, myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, margaric, stearic, oleic, elaidic, linoleic, linolenic, arachidic, behenic and lignoceric acid.

Ecology of Musk Thistle (Carduus nutans) Seed Germination for Grasslands of Temperate Climates
Musk thistle is an invasive weed that is widely distributed throughout much of North America, including grasslands in temperate climates of the midwest USA. A series of laboratory and greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the effect of various environmental factors on germination of musk thistle seeds. In temperature-fluctuation experiments, seed germination was greater than 65% in...
متن کاملPlant community associations of two invasive thistles
In order to combat the growing problems associated with biological invasions, many researchers have focused on identifying which communities are most vulnerable to invasion by exotic species. However, once established, invasive species can significantly change the composition of the communities that they invade. The first step to disentangling the direction of causality is to discern whether a ...
متن کاملSeed release by invasive thistles: the impact of plant and environmental factors.
Dispersal is a key process in biological studies of spatial dynamics, but the initiation of dispersal has often been neglected, despite strong indications that differential timing of dispersal can significantly affect dispersal distances. To investigate which plant and environmental factors determine the release of plumed seeds by the invasive thistles Carduus acanthoides and Carduus nutans, we...

Evaluation of Oil Content and Fatty Acid Composition in Seeds of Different Genotypes of Safflower
Evaluation of four safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes for oil content and fatty acidcomposition showed that oil content varied from 22.16 to 34.39% and the highest seed oilcontent was obtained from Isfahan14 genotype (34.39%, respectively). Among those fatty acidswere detected, linoleic acid (75.81- 77.86%) was the predominant fatty acid followed by oleic(12.57–13.75%), palmitic (6.0...
