Abstract
: Genus Lactuca L. belongs to one of the major families of flowering plants, Asteraceae. It includes about 150 species, distributed in warm and temperate areas, commonly in the Northern Hemisphere. Since ancient times, numerous Lactuca L. species have been cultivated for their economic and medicinal significance. Cultivated lettuce ( Lactuca sativa ), a representative member of the genus, is the most important leafy salad vegetable. The current review aims to provide comprehensive information on the taxonomy, phytochemistry, traditional uses, and biological activities of plants of the genus Lactuca . in L. indica -exposed cells. These results showed that, in addition to its diuretic action, L. indica exerts other actions directly on epithelial cells to protect against
期刊介绍：
Records of Natural Products is a journal of natural product chemistry. Reviews, book reviews, research papers and short reports are considered on the substances of plants, microbes and animals.
Discussions on the structure elucidation, synthesis of naturally occurring compounds and biological activity of natural compounds and plant extracts, biosynthesis of natural products and essential oils of aromatic plants as well as chemotaxonomy in the field of plants are welcomed in the journal.
All published research articles in Records of Natural Products have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by expert referees.
