“…During the vegetative growth, plants produce new shoots, which develop into leaves. The number of leaves in plants can be affected by various factors, including the availability of nutrients and the environment [Wahba et al, 2016]. According to Bahmanyar and Mashaee [2010], nitrogen promotes the growth of organs involved in photosynthesis, such as leaves, and component of all proteins and nucleic acids, as well as the overall composition of protoplasm.…”

Coal mining is generally carried out through open pit mining methods which have an impact and become an obstacle to changes in the chemical, physical, and biological properties of the soil. Revegetation of reclaimed land is a priority in restoring ecosystems disrupted by mining activities. This study aims to assess the success of the direct planting method in accelerating the growth of Pterocarpus indicus plants in coal mining reclamation areas. Field data and observations are used to evaluate the growth of plants directly planted in reclaimed post-mining land. The growth parameters observed include plant height, stem diameter, and leaf count using both seedling and stemcutting planting materials. The research results indicate that the direct planting method has a significant impact on accelerating the growth of Pterocarpus indicus plants. The plant height, diameter, and leaf count growth from the ANOVA test results showed a significant effect or significance at p<0.05 for the interaction between planting material, fertilizer, and dosage. The Duncan test results for the average plant height, stem diameter, and leaf count indicate the optimal use of bokashi fertilizer. The effective bokashi fertilizer dosage for each variable is 3 kg/planting hole, resulting in a plant height of 102.31 cm; 3 kg/planting hole, resulting in a stem diameter of 24.26 cm; and 5 kg/planting hole, resulting in a leaf count of 41.32.

“…Furthermore, traditionally leaves have been used in European medicine because of their known pharmacological properties, mainly due to the presence of cynarin and silymarin [14]. These compounds enhance liver and gallbladder function by stimulating the secretion of digestive juices [19].…”

“…They have been used to produce biomass for energy; and oil for human consumption, biodiesel, and animal feed [14,15]. The leaves are used in traditional medicine due to their high content in bioactive compounds such as cynarin and silymarin [2,4,[14][15][16][17][18][19]. Moreover, the cultivation of cardoon in large areas is gaining interest as feedstock for novel industrial bio-based products (e.g., conversion into biopolymers or as a source of cellulose for nanometric technological applications) [20,21].…”

Cardoon, Cynara cardunculus L., is a perennial plant whose flowers are used as vegetal rennet in cheese making. Cardoon is native from the Mediterranean area and is commonly used in the preparation of salads and soup dishes. Nowadays, cardoon is also being exploited for the production of energy, generating large amount of wastes, mainly leaves. These wastes are rich in bioactive compounds with important health benefits. The aim of this review is to highlight the main properties of cardoon leaves according to the current research and to explore its potential uses in different sectors, namely the food industry. Cardoon leaves are recognized to have potential health benefits. In fact, some studies indicated that cardoon leaves could have diuretic, hepato-protective, choleretic, hypocholesterolemic, anti-carcinogenic, and antibacterial properties. Most of these properties are due to excellent polyphenol profiles, with interesting antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. These findings indicate that cardoon leaves can have new potential uses in different sectors, such as cosmetics and the food industry; in particular, they can be used for the preparation of extracts to incorporate into active food packaging. In the future, these new uses of cardoon leaves will allow for zero waste of this crop.

“…C. cardunculus L. is a good source of components beneficial to health, such as polyphenols, which play a relevant role in its pharmacological properties [6,7]. The leaves are recognized in traditional medicine for their therapeutic potential as a diuretic, cardiotonic, antidiabetic, antihemorrhoidal, and antimicrobial agent, among others [1,[8][9][10]. Additionally, it has been used throughout animal studies, demonstrating its pharmacological properties, namely its anti-inflammatory effect.…”

Effect of Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis (DC) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis (DC) is a plant generally associated as an ingredient in the Mediterranean diet. The polyphenols present in this plant provide pharmacological and nutritional properties. C. cardunculus L. has been used throughout animal studies, which demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Since there is not a known cure, the research of new possible pharmacological approaches is essential. This study aims to evaluate the effect of an aqueous extract of C. cardunculus L. dry leaves in a 2,4,6-Trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis model. Methods: CD-1 mice with TNBS-induced colitis received an intraperitoneal (IP) administration of C. cardunculus L. once per day for 4 days. Results: The C. cardunculus L. demonstrated a beneficial effect in this experimental model of IBD with anti-inflammatory action through the reduction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels. It also demonstrated a beneficial influence on the extra-intestinal manifestations related to IBD, with the absence of significant side effects of its use. Conclusions: The extract of C. cardunculus L. dry leaves can become an interesting tool for new possible pharmacological approaches in the management of IBD.
