Chrysanthemum morifolium
Chrysanthemum morifolium
Chrysanthemum morifolium is a flowering plant central to various East Asian medicinal traditions. It has been traditionally utilized to address conditions such as conjunctivitis, headache, vertigo, fever, flu, and tinnitus, often serving as a refrigerant or sedative. Scientific evidence regarding human therapeutic efficacy remains limited, though studies have noted context-dependent effects on neural tube development and variations in plant genotypes. In veterinary observations, certain supplements containing the plant were associated with reduced tear staining and improved antioxidant capacity in dogs. No major safety issues or notable drug interactions have been recorded in the available data.

What the science says
- Chrysanthemum exhibits context-dependent dual effects on neural tube development, with potential benefits and risks highlighted but requiring further research.
- Significant variations were observed in vegetative and reproductive traits among the evaluated chrysanthemum genotypes.
- The study identified multiple genetic loci and candidate genes associated with drought tolerance in chrysanthemum using a genome-wide association study approach.
- All three supplements reduced tear staining in dogs, with CM and PC also improving iron status, immune function, and antioxidant capacity.
- The study found that hyperspectral sensing combined with machine learning can effectively classify multi-element nutrient imbalances in chrysanthemum leaves under greenhouse conditions.
- Staining-based tests overestimated pollen viability, while the TTC test more closely correlated with actual germination capacity in Chrysanthemum × morifolium.
