Qualitative and quantitative analysis of phytochemicals of Taraxacum officinale
نویسنده
چکیده
The present study investigates the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the major bioactive constituents of medicinally important plant Taraxacum officinale in its aqueous and methanol extract of root, stem and flower. Saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, phenols were highly concentrated in the stem, root and flower, with the higher concentration of flavonoids in the flower extracts. Phenols and steroids were also found present in the investigated plant parts. The percentage value of plant extracts in water and methanol are, stem (water extract 21%, methanol 18%), root (water extract 22%, methanol 17.8%), flower (water extract 19%, methanol 16%). The significance of the plant in traditional medicine and the importance of the distribution of these chemical constituents are discussed with respect to the role of the plant in ethnomedicine in Kashmir region of India.

متن کاملThe potential for genetic assimilation of a native dandelion species, Taraxacum ceratophorum (Asteraceae), by the exotic congener T. officinale.
Exotic plant species can threaten closely related native congeners through asymmetric hybridization and subsequent backcrossing, the process known as genetic assimilation. I explore the initial stages of this process in Taraxacum ceratophorum (Asteraceae), the native alpine dandelion, and the invasive apomict T. officinale. In central Colorado, seven T. ceratophorum populations all occur in sym...
