“…This is one of the important scientific studies which support the ancient literature's description on the detoxification process. Our ICP-OES results of untreated N. sativa are similar to earlier studies by Iqbal et al 35 and Sultan et al 36 However, until now no study has been done in the aspect of evaluating element analysis of detoxified samples.…”

Background: Medicinal plants are the best source for a variety of drugs. In traditional practices, the detoxification method is practiced to reduce toxicity of herbs, because low toxicity is one of the characteristics of phytomedicine which have a positive impact on pharmaceutical drugs. Aim:In the present study scientific validation attempt has been made to reduce toxicity by performing traditional practices called Sodhana/detoxification. In our study anti-microbial, phytochemical, heavy metal content and stability were evaluated for the detoxified seeds. Seeds of Nigella sativa were subjected to various detoxification methods like roasting, lime and calcium chloride treatment then ground to powder and extracted with 90% ethanol. Materials and Methods: The anti-microbial study was performed against multidrug-resistant bacterial strains Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and tested for their antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Penicillium crysoginum and Malassezia furfur. Metals present in the extract are analyzed by using plasma-optical emission spectrometry and Mass spectrum analysis was done for compound analysis. Results: Our experimental results reveal that Lime treated ethanol extract shows strong inhibitory activity against all the tested microbes than the unprocessed N. sativa extract except E.coli. Data reveals that the treatment of seeds has no impact on their major phytochemical; however, changes in metal concentration were recorded. The frequency of reduction by descending order was Lime≥CaCl 2 ≥ roasted. Moreover, the Stability of the extract followed by 12-month storage at room temperature showed significant anti-microbial activity like fresh extract. UPLC-MS/MS spectrum reveals that lime treated contained high levels of fatty acids. Conclusion:The present study concludes that, after detoxification, the heavy metal content was found to be decreased. Lime treatment is identified as a better method that successfully reduces the toxic elements and possesses high levels of fatty acids and phytochemicals with potent anti-microbial activity and revealed significant improvement in its anti-microbial potency.

“…In terms of genotypes, the highest TSW was obtained from the G2 and G3 genotypes (3.1 g), while it was 15% higher than the G1 genotype (2.7 g). Consistent findings regarding the TSW have also been reported by other researchers, with values ranging from 1.8 g (Toncer and Kizil, 2004), 2.3 to 2.8 g (Hosseini et al, 2018), 1.5 to 1.9 g (Rezaei-Chiyaneh et al, 2018), 0.7 to 6.6 (Iqbal et al, 2019), 2.5 to 2.6 g (Ozer et al, 2020), 2.8 to 3.0 g (Sarkar et al, 2022), and 2.3 to 2.6 g (Kara et al, 2021). TSW is a significant yield-contributing trait in the majority of plant.…”

“…Other researchers reported similar results in terms of NOC, ranging from 7 to 9 pcs plant -1 (Toncer and Kizil, 2004), 6 to 17 pcs plant -1 (Hosseini et al, 2018), 6 to 11 pcs plant -1 (Inan, 2020), 16 to 37 pcs plant -1 (Varun et al, 2020), 17 to 18 pcs plant -1 (Ozer et al, 2020), 16 to 20 pcs plant -1 (Sarkar et al, 2022), and 6 to 7 pcs plant -1 (Kara et al, 2021). However, the present results were less than 8 to 72 pcs plant -1 (Golkar and Nourbakhsh, 2019), and 10 to 65 pcs plant -1 (Iqbal et al, 2019). Statistically significant differences were observed in NOS values between different years, sowing dates, and genotypes.…”

Black cumin has been used in many countries for the treatment of diseases such as cancer and diabetes, and for thousands of years as a spice, flavoring in products such as bread, and as a food preservative in pickles. Too much delay in the sowing of black cumin has a negative effect on plant growth. In order to determine the most suitable sowing dates for different black cumin genotypes, an experiment was conducted in the open-field conditions of the Eastern Mediterranean region of Türkiye at Çukurova University, for two years, in 2020 and 2021, in three different sowing dates (October 15th, November 01st, and November 15th) with three different black cumin genotypes (Çameli cultivar (G1), Adana population (G2) and Iraq population (G3)). The findings of this research demonstrated significant differences in the agronomic characteristics and overall quality of black cumin. The main components were p-cymene (51.45%-66.33%), trans-4-Methoxythujane (8.40%-11.90%), thymoquinone (0.11%-19.26%), γ-Terpinene (1.28%-9.09%), and limonene (2.93%-4.50%). The main fatty acids were determined as linoleic acid (53.97%-57.56%), oleic acid (20.98-26.40), and palmitic acid (13.73%-15.02%). Consequently, the low number of flowers and the high temperatures observed in May, along with the early spring frosts, negatively affected the fertilization of the flowers. The seed yield was adversely affected because some of the seeds could not mature.

“…Nigella (Nigella sativa) is an annual, dicot herb that belongs to the Ranunculaceae family (Salem 2005), native to the Mediterranean Βasin (Iqbal et al 2019). Nowadays, it is cultivated in many countries such as Egypt, Iran, India, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan, and Turkey as an annual oilseed crop (Papastylianou et al 2018).…”

Climate change affects the sustainability of farming systems by downgrading soil fertility and diminishing crop yields. Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development Goals aims to achieve key performance indicators to convert effectually currently degraded agroecosystems into smart, climate-resilient, and profitable farming systems. The introduction of alternative crops could equilibrate the negative impact of increased temperatures and water scarcity to ensure sufficient farm profitability. Alternative crops such as quinoa, teff, tritordeum, camelina, nigella, chia, and sweet potato show a high acclimatization potential to various conditions and could be components of novel re-designed agroecosystems, satisfying the goals the EU Green Deal for reduced chemical input use by 2030. In certain occasions, they adapt even better than conventional or traditional crops and could be integrated in crop rotations, demonstrating multiple uses that would benefit farmers. This review aimed to (i) evaluate seven alternative crops based on their potential contribution to climate change mitigation, in compliance with the EU (European Union) Green Deal objectives and the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) of the UN (United Nations), and (ii) examine the factors that would determine their successful integration in the Mediterranean Basin. These limiting factors for crop establishment included (i) soil properties (soil texture, pH value, salinity, and sodicity), (ii) environmental parameters (temperature, altitude, latitude, photoperiod), and (iii) crop performance and dynamics regarding water demands, fertilization needs, light, and heat requirements. All proposed crops were found to be adaptable to the Mediterranean climate characteristics and promising for the implementation of the goals of EU and UN.
