Spiny Oleaster

Elaeagnus pungens

Elaeagnus pungens is a plant traditionally not associated with any specific medicinal or traditional uses. Scientific research has focused on its genetic and ecological aspects, revealing that the complete chloroplast genome of Elaeagnus pungens is 152,244 bp long and shares a maximum-likelihood phylogenetic relationship with Elaeagnus henryi. Additionally, studies have identified Streptomyces sp. strain GQFP isolated from E. pungens soil near its roots and noted that the plant can accumulate significant amounts of particulate matter (PM), particularly large and coarse particles, over a 30-day period. While no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded, these findings are primarily based on genetic sequencing and ecological studies rather than direct medicinal applications.
