We investigated the effect of Si concentration on shoot regeneration and salinity tolerance of Ajuga multiflora. Addition of Si to the shoot induction medium significantly increased the frequency of shoot induction. The average number of shoots regenerated per explant decreased on the medium containing NaCl alone, while there was less decrease when the shoot induction medium was supplemented with both NaCl and Si. The shoot induction percentage increased linearly with increasing concentration of Si in the NaCl containing medium. Addition of Si to the shoot induction medium significantly increased SOD, POD, APX, and CAT activity in regenerated shoot buds as compared with the control. The inclusion of Si to the NaCl containing medium significantly increased the SOD activity in leaves and roots, while it decreased POD, APX, and CAT activity in both organs. Scanning electron microscopic analysis showed that there are no distinct differences in the structure of stomata between the control and Si-treated plants. However, NaCl treatment significantly affected the structure and number of stomata as compared to the control. Wavelength dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed the high Si deposition in trichomes of plants grown in the Si containing medium but not in plants grown in the medium without Si.

“…Negative effects of A. reptans phytoecdysteroids on Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) larval development have been recorded (Melé et al, 1992). De‐fu et al (2002) reported the influence of eight phytoecdysteroids, extracted from different parts of Ajuga multiflora Bunge plants, on mortality of Cryptorhynchus lapathi (L. & C.). Antifeedant activity of Ajuga nipponensis Makino 20‐hydroxyecdysone on adult striped leaf beetles, Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius), has been recorded (Xu et al, 2009).…”

“…Ecdysteroids hormones found in insects play a novel role in their metamorphosis. Since phytoecdysteroids metabolites have structural similarities with insect ecdysteroids hormones, plants containing this compounds act as remarkable anti-feedant agents with deterrent activities, and may instigate pathophysiological effects and organism death [ 91 , 92 , 93 ].…”

Traditional Uses, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacological Properties of the Genus Blechnum—A Narrative Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Blechnum L. is a genus belonging to the Blechnaceae family with 236 accepted species that grow in intertropical, subtropical, and southern temperate regions. Several species of the genus have long been used in folk medicines to treat a broad spectrum of ailments, including typhoid, urinary infections, influenza, wounds, pulmonary complaints, blisters, boils, and antihelmintic-related complications. So far, about 91 chemical compounds have been isolated from different parts of 20 Blechnum species. Among these metabolites, phenolic compounds, sterols, and fatty acids are the main constituents. Modern pharmacological investigations revealed several isolated compounds and extracts to exhibit exceptional biological properties including the antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, insecticidal, antitrematocidal and wound healing. In various tests, both quercetin-7′,3′,4′-trimethoxy and phytol metabolites showed potential antioxidant and antitrematocidal properties, while ponasterone exhibited insecticidal activity. Despite having a broad range of traditional medicinal benefits and biological properties, understanding the scientific connotations based on the available data is still challenging. This article presents a comprehensive review of the traditional uses, phytochemical compounds, and pharmacological aspects of the Blechnum species.
