Efficacy of topical Calendula officinalis on prevalence of radiation-induced dermatitis: A randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: This randomised controlled trial showed no difference between Calendula and standard of care (Sorbolene) for the prevention of radiation-induced dermatitis. However, the study was underpowered (limited recruitment) for the primary comparison. PMID: 32965030 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Australasian Journal of Dermatology)

Cadmium Partitioning, Physiological and Oxidative Stress Responses in Marigold (Calendula calypso) Grown on Contaminated Soil: Implications for Phytoremediation.
Abstract Marigold (Calendula calypso) is a multipurpose ornamental plant, but its cadmium (Cd) tolerance and phytoremediation potential is unknown. The proposed study was carried out to unravel Cd partitioning, physiological and oxidative stress responses of C. calypso grown under Cd stress. Plants were grown for four months in pots having different soil Cd levels: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg kg-1 soil. Plant growth, biomass, photosynthetic pigments, leaf water contents, stomatal conductance, and membrane stability index were not decreased at 25 mg kg-1 Cd. At higher levels of Cd stress, activities of an...
