“…Wet weight also reflects the nutritional status of plants because the wet weight depends on the total number of cells, size of cells, or quality of the plant constituent cells. This depends on the availability of hormones and the amount of accumulation of organic compounds from photosynthetic results, is a reflection of the ability of plants to absorb hormones from the growth regulator content [16]. Growth regulators can optimize plant yields by modifying growth development to stressful conditions in the plant life cycle [17].…”

Echinacea purpurea is a North American herbal plant (Asteraceae) that is well-known worldwide as an alternative option to prevent the outbreak of COVID-19. E.purpurea contains antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory, and is immunomodulatory. The various potentials and benefits included in E.purpurea, can be developed by adding biochar and plant growth regulators. This study aimed to determine the optimal potential of secondary metabolite content in treating biochar type and growth regulator concentration. E.purpurea were prepared from the Experimental Field at Universitas Sebelas Maret, Jumantono, Karanganyar and were grown using the Split-plot research design treated with type biochar (control, husk charcoal, wood charcoal) and concentration growth regulator (0 ml/l, 2 ml/l, 4 ml/l, 6 ml/l). The data obtained were analyzed by variance analysis followed by Duncan’s test at a 5% level and described. The results showed that husk charcoal biochar gave the highest yield but was not significantly different from the wood charcoal biochar or control: plant height (38.8 cm) and the number of flowers (8.22). The growth regulator at a concentration of 6 ml/L gave the highest yield but was not significantly different from the concentration of 2-4 ml/L: plant height (39.8 cm), flowering time (11 WAP), number of flowers (9), and root length (21.9 cm). The highest C-organic plant tissue content yield was 35.44% (with husk charcoal) and 35.55% (with wood charcoal). It is shown that the provision of biochar and growth regulators can develop E. purpurea cultivation, especially on growth and yield components.

For centuries, medicinal plants have been used as sources of remedies and treatments for various disorders and diseases. Recently, there has been renewed interest in these plants due to their potential pharmaceutical properties, offering natural alternatives to synthetic drugs. Echinacea, among the world’s most important medicinal plants, possesses immunological, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Nevertheless, there is a notable lack of thorough information regarding the echinacea species, underscoring the vital need for a comprehensive review paper to consolidate existing knowledge. The current review provides a thorough analysis of the existing knowledge on recent advances in understanding the physiology, secondary metabolites, agronomy, and ecology of echinacea plants, focusing on E. purpurea, E. angustifolia, and E. pallida. Pharmacologically advantageous effects of echinacea species on human health, particularly distinguished for its ability to safeguard the nervous system and combat cancer, are discussed. We also highlight challenges in echinacea research and provide insights into diverse approaches to boost the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites of interest in echinacea plants and optimize their large-scale farming. Various academic databases were employed to carry out an extensive literature review of publications from 2001 to 2024. The medicinal properties of echinacea plants are attributed to diverse classes of compounds, including caffeic acid derivatives (CADs), chicoric acid, echinacoside, chlorogenic acid, cynarine, phenolic and flavonoid compounds, polysaccharides, and alkylamides. Numerous critical issues have emerged, including the identification of active metabolites with limited bioavailability, the elucidation of specific molecular signaling pathways or targets linked to echinacoside effects, and the scarcity of robust clinical trials. This raises the overarching question of whether scientific inquiry can effectively contribute to harnessing the potential of natural compounds. A systematic review and analysis are essential to furnish insights and lay the groundwork for future research endeavors focused on the echinacea natural products.
