Рrospects for application in biotechnology Onopordum acanthium

Abstract

Given the ecological state of the planet, the prospects for biotechnological developments based on natural compounds, cells, and plant tissues are certainly significant. Onopordum acanthium is being studied in detail by researchers from Eurasia, in particular Italy, Bulgaria, and Iran, as a source of biologically active compounds with relevant and diverse types of pharmacological activity. This is a common plant of the domestic flora, which is an excellent honey plant and at the same time a malicious weed and has been little studied in pharmacognostic terms. The aim is to clarify the prospects for using Onopordum acanthium material in biotechnological areas.
