Introduction: Mimusops elengi L. (Sapotaceae), known as Bakul in Ayurveda, is an evergreen tree found throughout India. M. elengi flowers (MEF) are reported to possess immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, skin whitening, anti-anxiety and wound healing activities which may be attributed to its phytochemical constituents including triterpenoids, alkaloids, phenolics, volatile oils, etc. Although the flowers have been traditionally used as a wound healing agent, there is a paucity of scientific data in support of its efficacy. Methods: An ethanolic extract of MEF was evaluated for its wound healing potential in male Albino Wistar rats using an excision wound model. The ethanolic extract of MEF was standardized in terms of its gallic acid content using a validated HPTLC technique. The antioxidant activity of MEF was also evaluated in vitro. The wound healing potential of the ethanolic extract of MEF was studied on the basis of wound contraction data, epithelialization period, the effect on biochemical parameters from the granulation tissue and histopathological observations. The results were compared with the traditional drug Jatyadi Taila (JT) and the modern drug Betadine (BTD). Results: Topical application of the standardized ethanolic extract of MEF on excision wounds caused a significantly faster reduction in the wound area as compared to JT and BTD. Similarly, it also showed the significant increase in the tissue hydroxyproline, hexosamine and protein biochemical parameters when compared with the untreated control. Conclusion:The findings of the present study provide data on wound healing and antioxidant potential of MEF and supports their traditional therapeutic claim.

Different substances from the natural origin which have beneficial effects on plant growth and development, stress resistance, and crop yield and quality can be called biostimulants or biostimulators. Their physiological effects depend on their composition as they contain various organic and mineral compounds which plants can use as metabolites, growth regulators, and nutrients; however, biostimulants cannot be considered biofertilizers. Biostimulants applied in plant production have been widely considered as an environment‐friendly agricultural practice—and so are now among tools used in sustainable agriculture. Here, we discuss the results of the biostimulants’ effect investigations performed in Croatia, focused on horticultural crops, with edible plant species, such as tomato, garlic, bell pepper, lettuce, strawberry, garden cress, and basil, as well as ornamentals, such as wild rose, wax begonia, Mexican and French marigold, moss rose, everlasting flower, common zinnia, English primrose, and scarlet sage. The investigated biostimulants were applied at all plant growth stages, from germination to full plant and fruit or flower commercial maturity, using the seed treatment, foliar application, or irrigation. To evaluate biostimulant effectiveness, various morphological, physiological, and quality traits were analyzed. In this wide array of studies, the evaluated biostimulants mostly enhanced seed and transplant vigor, stimulated vegetative growth, improved nutrient acquisition and distribution within the plant, increased antioxidative capacity of plant tissues, contributing to higher stress tolerance, and improved plant yield and fruit/flower quality. In general, the research reviewed here implies possible benefits of biostimulant application in horticultural production, especially in stressful growth conditions, such as the transplant stage, reduced fertilization, or incidence of other abiotic stress. Considering possible interactions among the contained physiologically active compounds, the effects on plants may depend on dose, time of treatment, growth conditions, and plant species. Therefore, further research of biostimulant applications in horticultural production is suggested.

“…40 The free radical scavenging activity of the L. sativum seed methanolic extract was investigated and it was concluded that free radical scavenging activity of the extract may be attributed to the polyphenolic compounds which have the ability to scavenge free radicals and enhance the DNA repair system or DNA synthesis. 32,41 Also, Malar et al, 42 showed that the ethanolic extracts of L. sativum seed extract exhibited high antioxidant activities and therefore form a potential source of natural antioxidant compounds.…”
