... AIMS: The major factors controlling the soil methane (CH₄) concentration and CH₄ emissions of various plant (mainly wetland) species were identified. METHODS: Five plant species (Oryza sativa, Zizania latifolia, Phragmites australis, Sesbania cannabina, and Bidens tripartita) were separately cultivated under the flooded soil conditions. The direct CH₄ scavenging potential of B. tripartita roots wa ...
... To find more clean and efficient chelator promoted hyperaccumulation of heavy metal from contaminated soil is a challenge in phytoremediation. The aim of this experiment was to explore the roles of aqueous extracts from the roots, stems and leaves of three accumulators on Solanum nigrum L. accumulating Cd and Pb from soil in comparation with the chelator Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The ...
... Based on traditional medicine, infusions of Bidens species (Asteraceae) have been successfully used in the treatment of acute and chronic enteritis. Additionally, ethnopharmacological reports demonstrating the gastrointestinal, gastroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiulcerogenic and immunomodulatory potency of Bidens tripartita Linn. (Asteraceae) and its constituents make the plant a particularly ...
... Fourteen flavonoids (1–14) and two polyacetylenes (15 and 16) were isolated from the aerial parts of Bidens tripartita. Thirteen compounds (1–7, 9, 11, 12, and 14–16) were isolated from this species for the first time, of which a flavonoid (11) was obtained for the first time from the genus Bidens. The chemotaxonomic significance of these compounds was summarized. ...
... The paper characterizes a group of rarer vascular plants discovered in the area of Lublin city. With the stations examined, all kinds of information collected about them were taken into account. The study took into consideration unpublished herbarium materials and the published ones from strictly definite stations as well as those without a specified location. With stations of this kind, only sour ...
... Bidens frondosa is a new invasive species in China. However, the mechanisms underlying its invasiveness are still not understood. This study compared the new invader with its invasive congener, Bidens pilosa, and two native congeners, Bidens biternata and Bidens tripartita, in terms of their morphology, growth, biomass allocation and photosynthetic parameters across variant light and water conditi ...

Abstract:
... Earlier it was suggested, based on study of the morphological features, that a new taxon of burmarigold, which had been noted in recent decades in several locations on the territory of Russia and neighboring countries and described as an alien species of Bidens connata, is in fact a hybrid species that arose in Europe. This hypothesis was confirmed by the molecular genetic method. A complex of tax ...
... The aim of this study was to conduct in vitro rumen fermentation assays on a large number of grassland plants to discriminate them on the basis of their potential to combine high nutritive value for ruminants and a reduced impact on the environment. In total, 156 plant species collected from diversified grasslands in the French Massif Central were screened by measuring several parameters, includin ...
... Classical extraction methods used for an isolation of active substances from the plant material are expensive, complicated and often environmentally unfriendly. The ultrasonic assistance micelle-mediated extraction method (UAMME) seems to be an interesting alternative. The aim of this work was to compare an efficiency of water solutions of three non-ionic surfactants: C9-11 Pareth-5, PPG-6 Stearet ...
... The influence of nickel and copper salts on seed germination of the native species Bidens tripartita L. and the alien species B. frondosa L. growing in geographically remote populations was studied in the laboratory conditions. It was shown that the seeds of the alien species were more resistant to the action of heavy metals than the native seeds. Perhaps, this was due to the higher biomass of B. ...
... A comparative analysis of morphological characte ristics of Bidens connata Muehl. ex Willd. in Russia (Kaluga and Kaliningrad regions) and in Ukraine (Kyiv and Poltava regions) are made. B. connata grows in ruderal habitats. This species settled in natural plant communities (meadows in alluvial lands). We found wide variability in morphological parameters of B. connata growing in different localit ...

... Bidens tripartita L. is a traditional phyto-remedy used in several countries, yet there is still a paucity of data on its biological potential. We aimed to provide new insights on the pharmacological potential of extracts prepared from B. tripartita via highlighting its antioxidant, key enzymes inhibitory potency, and DNA protecting effects. Phytochemical profile was established using High-Perform ...

Abstract:
... The hybrid origin of the Bidens × decipiens species, which was earlier ascribed to the North American alien species B. connata, was confirmed by analyzing the nucleotide sequences of the ITS nuclear site. The name “B. connata” is indicated as invalid for a taxon that does not grow in North America. Earlier, we tested the hypothesis of hybrid origin of B. × decipiens using ISSR analysis and reveale ...

Abstract:
... With the filling of the Three Gorges Reservoir, original vegetation in the water level fluctuation zone (WLFZ) between the elevations of 145 and 175 m disappeared due to the reversal of submergence time (winter flooding) and prolonged inundation duration (nearly half a year). To better understand the relationships between the environmental factors and recovered plant communities for reconstructing ...
... AIMS: The effects of aqueous extracts from bio-resources on Solanum nigrum L. Cd hyperaccumulation were determined with EDTA as control. METHODS: Soil pot culture experiment and Leaching experiment were arranged and conducted. RESULTS: The results showed that stem extracts of Bidens tripartita L. (BT-S) significantly increased (by 61.0%) Cd shoot concentration in S. nigrum, which was higher compar ...
