Cherokee rose
Rosa laevigata
Rosa laevigata, a plant native to East Asia, has not been traditionally used for medicinal purposes. Scientific research indicates that overexpression of RlTTG1 in Arabidopsis plants led to increased trichome number, root growth under stress conditions, and seed germination rates while altering antioxidant levels. Additionally, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) methods yielded higher polysaccharide yields with better physicochemical properties from Rosa laevigata. Studies also suggest that Rosa laevigata polysaccharides (RLPs) may influence gut microbiota composition by increasing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), potentially contributing to systemic physiological regulation. Triterpenoids identified in the roots of Rosa laevigata showed potential neuroprotective effects through acetylcholinesterase inhibition and antioxidant activity. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been noted for this plant.
