Honey is a rich source of carbohydrates, while minor compounds such as amino acids and polyphenols contribute to its health-promoting effects. one the oldest traditional remedies applied for microbial infections, due antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties. The aim this study was investigate antibacterial antibiofilm effects Hungarian black locust, linden, sunflower honeys against most common biofilm-forming respiratory tract pathogens Haemophilus spp., Pseudomonas...
The goal of the study was to evaluate pollen spectrum, antioxidant capacity and mineral content four Hungarian honey types, using multivariate statistical analysis. light colored honeys were represented by milkweed a multifloral (MF) with dominant frequency linden (MF-Tilia); darker ones goldenrod Lamiaceae majority (MF-Lamiaceae). spectrum samples established melissopalynological absorbance positively correlated determined three used methods (TRC, TEAC, DPPH), but not ORAC. latter method...
The geographical and ecological features of Transylvania enable the wide ethnobotanical use pine species. aim this study was to survey current ethnomedicinal other traditional species Hungarian-speaking ethnic groups in compare them with earlier reports performed from countries related Carpathian Basin. Information on obtained using semi-structured interviews 515 Transylvanian informants 18 villages period 2007-2019. young shoots Abies alba Mill., Picea abies (L.) H. Karst., Pinus nigra J....
The biofilm formation of bacteria in different parts the human body can influence success antibiotic therapy. Essential oils (EOs) and their components are becoming increasingly popular point view medicinal applications, because antibacterial efficacy. immortelle EO has been used traditionally as an expectorant; however, there no studies summarizing its effect against respiratory tract bacteria. Our aim was to investigate inhibitory activity (Helichrysum italicum) pathogens such Haemophilus...
The recruitment life stage, including germination and early seedling establishment, is the most vulnerable stage of plants has cascading effects on plant performance at later stages. However, surprisingly little known eco-evolutionary processes that determine success biological invasions this stage. We performed experiments with without simulated drought stress monitored growth in diploid tetraploid Centaurea stoebe . While diploids are major cytotype native European range, only tetraploids...
The goldenrod (Solidago) species are flowering plants that produce nectar and can be the sources of unifloral honeys. S. canadensis gigantea native to North America invasive in several European countries, while virgaurea is Europe. aim this work was determine compare antioxidant capacity honeys collected three central countries (Hungary, Poland, Slovakia), from locations within each country. botanical origin honey sample checked with melissopalynological analysis. Color intensity determined...
Abstract The use of hellebore ( Helleborus ) species for medical purposes has a long-standing tradition. Our work aimed at providing historical survey their medicinal application in Europe, and data on current ethnobotanical H. purpurascens Waldst. et Kit. Transylvania (Romania), compared with earlier records this region other European countries. While the chemistry pharmacology hellebores have been researched extensively, little is known about anatomical traits. Thus, we intended to provide...
Interactions among native and invasive species may affect management outcomes goals. We implemented different mowing regimes to control the Solidago gigantea restore natural diversity, also examined interactions between a European competitor, Tanacetum vulgare in context of these regimes. Experimentally planted suppressed by 79% without management, suite reduced density 80–98% when was absent. But, added, invader not mowing. Put another way, mowed plots with , twofold over fivefold denser...
SummaryFloral rewards such as nectar and pollen have a major influence on successful pollination fruit-set, even in selffertile Rubus sp. (Rosaceae), which include most cultivated raspberries blackberries. A 2-year study was designed to examine the diurnal dynamics of secretion shedding raspberry cultivars 'Autumn Bliss' 'Malling Exploit', blackberry 'Arapaho' 'Hull', order establish effect these traits floral attractiveness various insect visitors. The volume secreted per flower measured...
Lutein and its cis-isomers occur in a lot of plants, including variety flowers. In this study, lutein isomers were produced via iodine-catalyzed isomerization, four (9Z-, 9'Z-, 13Z-, 13Z') isolated by means column chromatography semipreparative HPLC. The structures the 9'Z- 13'Z-isomers elucidated NMR measurements. These compounds used as standards for HPLC-DAD-MS determination carotenoid composition flowers 20 plant species, which geometrical are main components. showed great variation...
Ethnomedicine using mostly plants is of pivotal importance nowadays in several Transylvanian regions Romania. In this study (2007–2015), one Swabian-German, Hungarian, three Csángó-Hungarian and nine Székely-Hungarian villages were selected to collect ethnomedicinal treatments for various gastrointestinal diseases. Some the studied have partial or no permanent medical pharmaceutical services. The 374 inhabitants interviewed used medicinal based on ancient knowledge. 78 (53 wild 25...
Fallopia species which belong to the Polygonaceae family have several data related their use in Asian herbal medicine. In this work, some histological and phytochemical parameters of japonica, F. sachalinensis, x bohemica were analysed compared. Rhizome leaf samples collected before, during, after flowering period at 3 habitats Szombathely 4 Baranya County, Hungary. The main characteristics stem, petiole studied by light microscopy cross section. Total tannin anthraquinone contents...
In this study, based on ethnobotanical data recorded in Transylvania, the polyphenolic compounds and permeability of aerial part’s extract Tanacetum balsamita were investigated. Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was applied for analysis extracts. Parallel artificial membrane assay (PAMPA) gastrointestinal tract blood–brain barrier conducted. ethanolic aqueous extracts species traditionally used wound, furuncle, liver disorders, 92 polyphenols characterized...
The impact of invasive plants on vegetation can vary greatly depending the characteristics invaders and community invasibility. As to factors that influence a plants ability invade, recent studies suggest arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may be important regulators in plant invasions. To better understand interactions Helianthus tuberosus with co-occurring species its native North American invaded European ranges, we carried out plot-based field surveys determine whether cover H....
