- The study explores the beneficial compounds found in mistletoe, which are often overlooked when pruning trees infested with the plant.
- It analyzes various mistletoe parts (leaves, stems, fruits) for their content of phenolic compounds, triterpenic acids, organic acids, and antioxidant activity, discovering that some samples exhibit particularly high concentrations.
- Results suggest that mistletoe has potential as a valuable resource for extracting beneficial compounds with antioxidant properties, highlighting its economic and ecological importance.
Background: The family, one of the most important herbaceous and shrub plant families, includes a wide variety of plants with biological and medicinal uses. This study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of phenolic compounds content and biological activity of extracts from eight species of e plants, cultivated in a temperate climate, and to study the effect of the foliar salicylic acid application on these parameters.
Methods: plants (, , , , , , , ) cultivated on field experimental sites.
