Dandelion ( < em > Taraxacum < /em > Genus): A Review of Chemical Constituents and Pharmacological Effects
Molecules. 2023 Jun 27;28(13):5022. doi: 10.3390/molecules28135022.ABSTRACTDandelion (Taraxacum genus) is a perennial herb belonging to the Asteraceae family. As a well-known and extensively studied genus, dandelion comprises numerous species. Some species have been widely used in both complementary and alternative medicine to clear heat, detoxify, activate blood circulation, dispel stasis, and discharge urine. Multiple pharmacological studies have highlighted its therapeutic potential, including anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-rheumatic activities. Furthermore, bioactive compounds associated with these...

Phytotoxicity assessment of dandelion exposed to microplastics using membership function value and integrated biological response index
Environ Pollut. 2023 Jun 3:121933. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121933. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroplastic (MP) pollution is a critical environmental issue. Dandelions could be used as a biomonitor of environmental pollution. However, the ecotoxicology of MPs in dandelions remains unclear. Therefore, the toxic effects of polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and polypropylene (PP) at concentrations of 0, 10, 100, and 1000 mg L-1 on the germination and early seedling growth of dandelion were investigated. PS and PP inhibited seed germination and decreased root length and biomass while promoting membrane lipid peroxidat...

‘Game changer.’ Scientists are genetically engineering crops to clone themselves
In early summer, unusual pollinators swoop over rice fields in Texas and Arkansas. Small, nimble helicopters fly low and steady so their rotors blow pollen from one row of plants to another. The flights help RiceTec, a plant breeding company, produce seed for high-yielding, robust varieties of rice grown across the southern United States. It’s an expensive and complicated way to create seed.
But the effort is worthwhile because the seeds sprout into plants with a mysterious robustness and resilience. The phenomenon, called hybrid vigor, comes from crossing two strains of inbred parents. Why hybrids are superior to ...

Carboxymethylation modification, characterization of dandelion root polysaccharide and its effects on gel properties and microstructure of whey protein isolate
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 May 10:124781. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124781. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the present study, a native polysaccharide (DP) with sugar content of 87.54 ± 2.01 % was isolated from dandelion roots. DP was chemically modified to obtain a carboxymethylated polysaccharide (CMDP) with DS of 0.42 ± 0.07. DP and CMDP were composed of the same six monosaccharides including mannose, rhamnose, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose, and arabinose. The molecular weights of DP and CMDP were 108,200 and 69,800 Da, respectively. CMDP exhibited more stable thermal performance and better gelling properti...

Copper accumulation in five weed species commonly found in the understory vegetation of Mediterranean vineyards
Environ Pollut. 2023 Apr 19:121675. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121675. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCopper (Cu) concentration in agricultural soils often exceeds toxicological limits due to application of Cu-based fungicides. The potential of weeds for their use as functional cover plants in vineyard management and phytoremediation practices is little explored. We identified five weed species widely present in vineyards and assessed their Cu accumulation from eleven Mediterranean vineyards (soil Cu: 60-327 μg g-1) and two adjacent control sites (soil Cu: 15-30 μg g-1). Soils and plants were characterized by their physic...

Effects of dietary dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum Hand.-Mazz.) polysaccharides on the performance and gut microbiota of laying hens
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Apr 15:124422. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124422. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis experiment was designed to evaluate the influences of dietary dandelion polysaccharides (DP) on the performance and cecum microbiota of laying hens. Three hundred laying hens were assigned to five treatment groups: the basal diet group (CK group), three DP groups (basal diets supplemented with 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 % DP), and the inulin group (IN group, basal diet supplemented with 1.5 % inulin). Increased daily egg weight and a decreased feed conversion rate were observed when the diets were supplemented with inuli...
