Isatis tinctoria L. (Brassicaceae), which is commonly known as woad, is a species with an ancient and well-documented history as an indigo dye and medicinal plant. Currently, I. tinctoria is utilized more often as medicinal remedy and also as a cosmetic ingredient. In 2011, I. tinctoria root was accepted in the official European phytotherapy by introducing its monograph in the European Pharmacopoeia. The biological properties of raw material have been known from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Over recent decades, I. tinctoria has been investigated both from a phytochemical and a biological point of view. The modern in vitro and in vivo scientific studies proved anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, antimicrobial, antiviral, analgesic, and antioxidant activities. The phytochemical composition of I. tinctoria has been thoroughly investigated and the plant was proven to contain many valuable biologically active compounds, including several alkaloids, among which tryptanthrin, indirubin, indolinone, phenolic compounds, and polysaccharides as well as glucosinolates, carotenoids, volatile constituents, and fatty acids. This article provides a general botanical and ethnobotanical overview that summarizes the up-to-date knowledge on the phytochemistry and biological properties of this valuable plant in order to support its therapeutic potential. Moreover, the biotechnological studies on I. tinctoria, which mainly focused on hairy root cultures for the enhanced production of flavonoids and alkaloids as well as on the establishment of shoot cultures and micropropagation protocols, were reviewed. They provide input for future research prospects.

“…Together, environmental elements like light, moisture, nutrients, density, and temperature, as well as physiological elements like glucose stores, hormone levels, and dormancy, have a role in determining how a plant grows [25,26]. There are evidences that biochar can change the environment of plants in ways that promote their growth, survival, and quality [27,28].…”

Tropical Spodosols are highly fragile and disturbed Spodosols remain unproductive at conventional management practices due to the inherent infertility of the soils. These soils developed from quartz rocks and are characterized by the presence of E albic and B spodic horizons. This study was conducted to determine the effect of enriched biochar application on height growth of jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) stands planted on spodosols. Research plots were arranged to comply with a 2-factors completely randomized design (CRD) procedure – 3 levels of rate of biochar treatment (A1 = 0%v, A2 = 2%v and A3 = 5%v) and 2 levels of liquid organic fertilizer enrichment (B0 = without enrichment and B1 = with enrichment). There were 3 replicates for each treatment consisted of 28 Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) plants at 2.5 m x 3 m spacing, therefore a total of 504 plants were observed in this study. Results showed that the rate of biochar and nutrient enrichment gave a significant effect on the height growth of jabon plants (A. cadamba), the best height growth was obtained at the enriched biochar treatment rate of 5%v (A3B1).

“…Hence, professional interventions to optimize the growing condition, harvesting stage and nutrient management might be essential to increase production with quality leaves; however, these need to be investigated and confirmed further in future studies. In addition, genetics might be responsible for the difference in adaptability among accessions in the current study; however, it can also be affected by environmental factors such as temperature, light, humidity, water, nutrients and soil characteristics [ 37 , 38 , 39 ].…”

The use of medicinal plants and their extracts has recently attracted the attention of many researchers as a methane (CH4) mitigation strategy. This study evaluated the relationship of agronomic traits of Moringa accessions with in vitro gas production measurements and feed digestibility from ruminants. Twelve Moringa accessions were grown at the Roodeplaat experimental site of the Agricultural Research Council in Pretoria, South Africa. Agronomic traits, such as seedling survival rate, leaf yield, canopy and stem diameter, plant height, number of primary branches, plant vigor, greenness, chlorosis, disease and pest incidences were recorded. The leaves were harvested in the fifth month after transplanting to the field. Freeze-dried leaves were extracted with methanol, and their total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were determined. The extract was applied at a dose of 50 mg/kg of dry matter (DM) feed for in vitro gas production studies. Most of the growth and agronomic traits, i.e., seedling survival rate, leaf yield, canopy diameter, plant height, number of primary branches, the score of plant vigor, and greenness, total phenolics and flavonoids were significantly different among the accessions except for stem diameter and chlorosis score. All accession leaf extracts significantly reduced the total gas and CH4 production compared with the control with equal or higher in vitro organic matter digestibility. Higher CH4 inhibition was obtained in Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) A3 (28.4%) and A11 (29.1%), whereas a lower inhibition was recorded in A1 (17.9%) and A2 (18.2%). The total phenolic (0.62) and total flavonoid (0.71) contents as well as most agronomic traits of the accessions were positively correlated with the CH4 inhibition potential of the accessions. Moringa oleifera accessions A3, A8 and A11 resulted in higher in vitro CH4 inhibition potential and improved organic matter digestibility of the feed with equal or higher adaptability performances in the field. Thus, there is a possibility of selecting Moringa accessions for higher antimethanogenic activity without compromising the feed digestibility by selecting for higher total phenolics, total flavonoids and agronomic performances traits. There is a need for further study to determine the long-term adaptability of promising accessions in the study area with concurrent antimethanogenesis efficacy when used in the diet of ruminant animals.
