“…In France, Fontanel et al (1998a) isolated caffeic, chlorogenic, 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic, caftaric and chicoric acid (the major phenylpropanoic constituent in the species) from aerial parts of the plant, as well as the flavonoids, isoquercitrin, luteolin and luteolin-7-O-b-glucuronide. Although the high oil content detected in the Tennessee study was not confirmed by Fontanel et al (1998b), they extracted 2.01% oil, consisting of 43.2% nonsaponifiable matter, a 42.5% mix of nonsaponifiable matter and triterpene alcohols, and 18.4% triterpene alcohols; fatty acids consisting of myristic, palmitic, 10, 13-or 11, 14octadecadienoic, a-linolenic, stearic and arachidic acids; and triterpene alcohols consisting of three unidentified compounds and of taraxerol, b-amyrin, germanicol, aamyrin, lupeol, cycloartenol and c-taraxasterol. Five guaianolide glycosides were identified in extracts of the latex from young stems of L. communis: two previously known sesquiterpene lactone glycosides, crepiside E and tectoroside, and three new compounds, lapsanoside A, B, and C (Fontanel et al1999).…”

“…Such references to culinary uses may belong primarily to the past (Polunin 1969; Plants for a Future 2010), although the species is among wild Asteraceae believed to have potential as a vegetable in Romania (Munteanu and Sirbu 2008). Fontanel et al (1998b) suggested that the large quantity of triterpene alcohols in L. communis could explain its healing properties. The volatile oil has inflammatory and antiseptic properties with potential for exploitation in the treatment of dermatological diseases (Stanciu et al 2007; see also Section 7c).…”

“…communis contains phenolic acids: caffeic, chlorogenic, caftaric and chicoric, flavonoids, isoquercitrin, luteolin and luteolin-7-O-b-glucuronide (Fontanel et al, 1998a). Its fatty acids consist of myristic, palmitic, 10, 13-or 11, 14-octadecadienoic, a-linolenic, stearic and arachidic acids (Fontanel et al, 1998b). The triterpene alcohol with taraxerol, b-amyrin, germanicol, aamyrin, lupeol, cycloartenol and ctaraxasterol were also extracted from nipplewort (Fontanel et al, 1999).…”

The conducted experiment was aimed at determining the effect of aqueous extracts from dry roots and shoots of common weed nipplewort (Lapsana communis L. subsp. communis) on seeds germination and early growth of radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. radicula Pers.), cultivars ‘Rowa’, ‘Krakowianka’, ‘Półdługa’. The experiment was carried out in the form of Petri dishes tests with 3 different percentage concentrations of extracts (1%, 3% and 5%, respectively). The germination indexes used here revealed that the germination capacity of the radish seeds was significantly inhibited by extracts from the roots and shoots of L. communis subsp. communis. The elongation growth of radish roots and hypocotyls was stimulated to a higher percentage by extracts from nipplewort roots than by extracts from shoots. The fresh and dry mass of the radish seedlings depended on the type (roots/shoots) and concentration of the extract as well as the radish cultivar. The electrolyte leakage was the highest in seedlings watered with 5% extract of nipplewort shoots. The cultivar most sensitive to nipplewort extracts turned out to be ‘Półdługa’, and the least sensitive was ‘Rowa’. The response of radish seeds to nipplewort extracts is probably due to the presence of allelochemical compounds and their synergistic interaction.

Abstract. We present elemental, lipid biomarker and compound-specific isotope (δ13C, δ2H) data for soils and leaf litter collected in the catchment of Lake Ohrid (Albania, Macedonia), as well as macrophytes, particulate organic matter and sediments from the lake itself. Lake Ohrid provides an outstanding archive of continental environmental change of at least 1.2 M years and the purpose of our study is to ground truth organic geochemical proxies that we developed in order to study past changes in the terrestrial biome. We show that soils dominate the lipid signal of the lake sediments rather than the vegetation or aquatic biomass, while compound-specific isotopes (δ13C, δ2H) determined for n-alkanoic acids confirm a dominant terrestrial source of organic matter to the lake. There is a strong imprint of suberin monomers on the composition of total lipid extracts and chain-length distributions of n-alkanoic acids, n-alcohols, ω-hydroxy acids and α,ω-dicarboxylic acids. Our end-member survey identifies that ratios of mid-chain length suberin-derived to long-chain length cuticular-derived alkyl compounds as well as their average chain length distributions can be used as new molecular proxies of organic matter sources to the lake. We tested these for the 8.2 ka event, a pronounced and widespread Holocene climate fluctuation. In SE Europe climate became drier and cooler in response to the event, as is clearly recognizable in the carbonate and organic carbon records of Lake Ohrid sediments. Our new proxies indicate biome modification in response to hydrological changes, identifying two phases of increased soil OM supply, first from topsoils and then from mineral soils. Our study demonstrates that geochemical fingerprinting of terrestrial OM should focus on the main lipid sources, rather than the living biomass. Both can exhibit climate-controlled variability, but are generally not identical.
