Peat is commonly known as a biofuel but it also has other more or less traditional uses, for example in folk medicine, building materials, or preservation of foods. Several studies suggest that the main composers of peat lands, Sphagnum mosses, may also have potential for a variety of other value-added products. Typically, those are related to the antibacterial and other preservative properties of Sphagnum, or to their high water adsorption ability. Molecular level applications, however, are still rarely reported. This might owe to the complex chemistry of Sphagnum and lacking costefficient technologies for the isolation of components of interest. In this literature survey, the structural and chemical properties of Sphagnum are reviewed together with their suggested uses. This is expected to facilitate new efforts to find commercially feasible applications for these extraordinary plants.

“…Six flavonoids, i.e., vitexin from Plagiomnium affine, apigenin from P. affine, apigenin-7-O-triglycoside from Dicranum scoparium, luteolin-7-O-neohesperidoside from D. scoparium, saponarine from P. cuspidatum, lucenin-2 from Hedwigia ciliata, and bartramiaflavone from Bartramia pomiformis, showed strong inhibition of spore germination and protonemal growth in Tortula muralis as well as root development in Raphanus sativus L. [8]. Among them, saponarine was the most active substance.…”

Bryophytes frequently grow in an unfavorable environment as the earliest land plants, and inevitably biosynthesize secondary metabolites against biotic or abiotic stress. They not only defend against the plant competition, microbial attack, and insect or animal predation, but also function in UV protection, drought tolerance, and freezing survival. This review covers the ecological aspect of secondary metabolites in bryophytes and is taxonomically presented according to the ecological significances.
