Emilia, petit laiteron

Emilia sonchifolia · Cupid's shaving-brush

Emilia sonchifolia is a plant that has not been traditionally used for medicinal purposes. It is, however, recognized in some cultures for its culinary value, with 96 edible flower taxa documented, including Emilia sonchifolia, which holds high cultural significance. Scientific research indicates the presence of differentially expressed genes related to ROS scavenging and stress responses when infected by the Emilia yellow vein virus, as well as the identification of key enzymes involved in senkirkine biosynthesis with varying expression patterns between roots and flowers. While the ethanol extract of Emilia sonchifolia has been shown to induce hepatotoxicity associated with cholestasis and oxidative stress in mice, no major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
