Ipomoea pes-caprae
Ipomoea pes-caprae
Ipomoea pes-caprae, commonly known as beach morning glory or goat's-foot weed, is a plant traditionally found in coastal regions of tropical and subtropical areas. While its use in traditional medicine has not been extensively documented, studies have explored its potential applications in agriculture and biotechnology. Research indicates that biochar treatments can enhance the growth of Ipomoea pes-caprae by improving soil nutrient availability and microbial activity, as well as through the bioconversion of biomass using xylanase from Neobacillus sedimentimangrovi, which yields significant reducing sugars and enhances antioxidant potential. The IGD database provides comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic data for this plant, supporting further research into its biological properties. Safety-wise, no major issues have been recorded, and there are currently no known drug interactions associated with Ipomoea pes-caprae.
