Abstract
Colchicum autumnale L. is a perennial herb from the Colchicaceae family with an unusual life cycle, and it is characterized by an underground corm and hypogynous flowers that appear in autumn; its medicinal importance is represented by its primary alkaloid, colchicine, which has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and antimitotic properties and used in the treatment of some diseases and artificial polyploidy induction in plants. This study aims to determine and evaluate the biological effects induced by treatment with C. autumnale extracts on tissue development in test plants, represented by two Ocimum basilicum L. varieties: ‘Italiano Classico’ and ‘Aromat de Buzău’. Morpho-anatomical observations and some biochemical and physiological analyses were employed. Results show unusual shapes of leaves, differences in stomata size and density, and heteromorphic cells in leaves and epicotyl’s structure in both studied varieties of treated basil test plants.
秋菊是菊苣科的一种多年生草本植物,具有不同寻常的生命周期,其特征是地下球茎和秋季出现的下位花;其药用价值体现在其主要生物碱秋水仙碱上,秋水仙碱因其抗炎和抗有丝分裂特性而被研究,并用于治疗某些疾病和人工诱导植物多倍体。本研究旨在确定和评估秋季C.autunale提取物处理对试验植物组织发育的生物效应,以两个罗勒品种为代表:“Italiano Classico”和“Aromat de Buzău”。采用形态解剖学观察和一些生化和生理学分析。结果显示,在两个研究的处理过的罗勒试验植物品种中,叶片形状不寻常,气孔大小和密度不同,叶片和上胚轴结构中的细胞异形。
期刊介绍:
Advances in Horticultural Science aims to provide a forum for original investigations in horticulture, viticulture and oliviculture. The journal publishes fully refereed papers which cover applied and theoretical approaches to the most recent studies of all areas of horticulture - fruit growing, vegetable growing, viticulture, floriculture, medicinal plants, ornamental gardening, garden and landscape architecture, in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions. Papers on horticultural aspects of agronomic, breeding, biotechnology, entomology, irrigation and plant stress physiology, plant nutrition, plant protection, plant pathology, and pre and post harvest physiology, are also welcomed. The journal scope is the promotion of a sustainable increase of the quantity and quality of horticultural products and the transfer of the new knowledge in the field. Papers should report original research, should be methodologically sound and of relevance to the international scientific community. AHS publishes three types of manuscripts: Full-length - short note - review papers. Papers are published in English.
