Abstract:

Effects of accelerated aging and seed priming treatments were studied on milk thistle seeds during germination process. Experiment was performed in a factorial based on Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Treatments were Salicylic acid concentrations (0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm) and accelerated aging for (0, 48, 96 and 144 hours under 45 °C and 95% humidity) with three replications. Our results showed thatsalicylic acid dramatically enhanced seed germination, seed vigor and primary seedling growth. Catalase, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activity was increased by seed priming. Reduction in germination parameters were observed by increase in accelerated aging durations The highest antioxidant activity, germination percentage and daily germination rate and seed vigour were observed at primed seeds with 1000 ppm Salycilic acid on non-aged seeds. Treatment salicylic acid at a concentration of 1000 ppm has the greatest impact and cause harmful effects healing was aging.

Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum)

Milk thistle is a well known and commonly used herb, used particularly in hepatic diseases. It has very potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic properties (1). As a single agent its therapeutic effects in liver disease appear to be modest (2,3,4,5). Herbal medicines and supplements are likely to be much more beneficial when used synergistically in combinations or formulas. Milk ...

Effect of milk thistle (Silybum marianum) on the pharmacokinetics of irinotecan.

PURPOSE Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is one of the most commonly used herbal therapies, and its principal constituent silybin significantly inhibits cytochrome P450 isoform 3A4 (CYP3A4) and UDP glucuronosyltransferase isoform 1A1 (UGT1A1) in vitro. Here, we investigated whether milk thistle affects the pharmacokinetics of irinotecan, a substrate for CYP3A4 and UGT1A1, in humans. EXPERIMENT...

Effect of Salicylic Acid on Antioxidant Activity in Milk Thistle Hairy Root Cultures

Background: Elicitors can trigger defense responses and activate specific genes involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Objective: For understanding SA-treatment signaling pathway we determined defense-related compounds and enzymes in S. marianum hairy root cultures. Methods: 28 day old hairy roots were treated by salicylic acid (6 mg/50 ml culture) for different times (24, 48, 72, 96...

Effects of Potassium Sulfate [K2SO4] on The Element Contents, Polyphenol Content, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Milk Thistle [Silybum Marianum]

BACKGROUND Silybum marianum L. (Milk thistle) is native to the Mediterranean basin and is now widespread throughout the world. It's sprout is used as a herbal medicine for the treatment of liver disease for centuries. The seeds of milk thistle contain silymarin, an isomeric mixture of flavonolignans [silybin, silychristin, and silydianin]. Silymarin acts as a strong anti-hepatotoxic. OBJECTIV...

Stimulatory effects of silibinin and silicristin from the milk thistle Silybum marianum on kidney cells.

The biochemical influence of flavonolignans from the milk thistle Silybum marianum has been tested on kidney cells of African green monkeys. Two nonmalignant cell lines were selected, with the focus of the work on the fibroblast-like Vero line. Proliferation rate, biosynthesis of protein and DNA, and the activity of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (as a measure of the cellular metabolic activi...
