High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) is widely utilized in natural products research due to its simplicity, low cost, and short total analysis time, including data treatment. While bioautography can be used for rapid detection of bioactive compounds in extracts, the number of available bioautographic methods is limited mainly due to the high cost and difficulty in developing protocols that lead to accurate and reproducible results. For this reason, an alternative method for the detection of bioactive compounds in plant extracts prior to their isolation using HPTLC, combined with multivariate chemometrics, was previously explored by our lab.

Purpose: This article deals with producing ultra-diluted compounds (UHDs) prepared from Iranian calendula's characteristic and endemic species. It compares their chemical, biological and biochemical characteristics with the commercial sample of calendula species (grown in the Alps). In the following, these UHDs have been used to improve the quality of germination and growth and reduce contamination of rice () seeds in the laboratory environment.
